Flowers??

Well just recently I have spotted two "flower" looking organisms coming out of my rocks{one out of a piece of dead coral and one out of a white noodle-looking thing wrapping around a rock). I dont know what they are called or I would have searched for them but no luck. The one coming out of the noodle is pinkish-clear in color about1/4 inch in diameter. The other is in the dead coral, it is lime green and purple and about 1/2 inch in diameter. They both come in and out of there whole and have multiple hairlike strings(10-20 maybe) If I could have explained it any worse let me know but does anyone have any idea??? THANKS

Also what is a good electronic meter for measuring everything in my water. ALL-in-one type deal.

that reminds me, I have a similar question. I think they're baby feather-dusters.

It's kinda funny...my girlfriend saw some in a store, and she wanted to get some. I was kinda like "I don't know....they're ok I guess"
Honestly, a within a few days "Honey look! a feather duster!"
then.."look, another one!"
we found about 5-6, some pink, some red.
just yesterday "holy crap" there's about 150 tiny babies, all on the same pc of rock...

So, are these bad? any reason to be concerned?

They're good to have. Common hitchikers. Filter feed particulates out of the water column.
