I have these tube like feather dusters growing around my torch as well as before the filter socks in my sump. Are they feather dusters, Hydroids or other? And should I manually remove / worry about them?

Thanks for the help!

feather dusters; hydroids don't attach with a tube structure like dusters do. Good find - I feed mine Marine Snow, phyto, rotifers and stirred up gravel, lol. IMHO they add interest and biodiversity.
