Pests?

[Bajamike]

So I got coral from a LFS. (here it comes) On the rock there are these little shell looking things and a long worm or toung comes out and goes back in. tryed to get pics but they are very small. It also has like littlefeather duster things to. Are these things bad?

I agree with Aaron and all harmless. The sponge and feather duster worms are great filter feeders the spaghetti worms can be a nuisance to zoas but i have never had them cause harm.

Ha, just saw that! It's always great looking in your tank and seeing new life, try looking at night with a flashlight.
