What is on my rock?

Hey guys, was wondering what is growing on my rock, are they feather dusters or something else? They are also growing in the sand. Thanks

have you seen a feathery crown come out of the tubes like larger feather duster worms? those tubes you have there look similar to a small feather duster species that ive got in my tank.

If you look closely they have a clearish/white little feathery looking thing at the tips. I'm assuming feather dusters but don't really know much about them

oh yea i see them now. definitely a feather duster species. nothing harmful and theyll do there own population control. good to have in the tank as well since they are filter feeders.
