If so, they're just feather duster worms. harmless filter feeders.

I'd be willing to be that's what they are. They come in all shapes and sizes, and are a common hitchhiker on live rock.

and they are excellent filter feeders to have in the tank. they will help remove some of the extra food and nutrients from the water column.

be happy for everything you see growing on the rocks. It's actually a really cool part about the tank....all the goodies in the rocks!

There are lots of decisions and they all have repercussions. If you already have the standard strip light that often comes with a tank you could use it for a while. Even if you want an anemone it will be at least six months until your tank can support one so you won't need a stronger light for a while.
