Are they hydroids or yellow polyps? Really hard to tell in the pics.

+1 on the better pics. They look like yellow polyps to me. Which, in my experience, are worse than having hydroids.

Ya I'm positive their hydroids, I've got yellow polyps these r real small and kinda look like yellow polyps but r smaller than the size of a toothpick and only r a centimeter or 2 high and they r getting everywhere, they look like a fuzzy patch unless ur close to the tank then u can see all the detail :/
