Possible ID....w/pic's

Hey All,

I'm looking for a possible ID. I posted this on another thread and really just looking for a second opinion. Unfortunately, the first response matched my own feeling, but I'm still on the fence.

Basically, I'm believing what I have is hydroids. Although, I have had no stinging issues yet with anything that seems to wander through this...including my own hands.

I'm going with hydroids based on how fast this has spread, but they seem to have more resemblance to a feather duster / filter feeder in that they are very "whispy"...if I could use that to describe them.

While they have spread, keep in mind that this section is really one rock. I've zoomed in to try and get more detail.

Thanks!

What do you guys think?

Thanks. I've been all over looking at pics and books etc. Maybe I should start with getting a better pic.

Thanks again.
