plant material on new zoanthid rock

I got this from DD today. Wasn't expecting to get a rock with a lot of plant/algae on it. Hopefully it's nothing invasive. I tore a tank down due to caulerpa once. Not fun. Anyone have a clue what it is?



Thanks, Angie

Be careful. If you have a quarantine I'd put it in there. I just tore a tank down because of calurpa and halimeda algae.

Those little tubes look more like Vermetid snails than algae to me. Spionid worms is another possibility.

I don't know. In person it really seems more plant-like. And there is so much of it. Whoever packed it up at DD couldn't have possibly missed it. I know even DD can't be trusted to send products that are completely disease/vermin free, but it doesn't seem possible that they would send something so obviously afflicted with snails, if that's what that is
