string like objects coming out of my zoas?

[Sean1986]

Hey guys i cant get a decent pick ill try my best later to snap a shot,
I have 2 differents zoas that have string like stuff coming out of thier base leading up to thier skirts. it started off really small and now they are getting longer and longer and looks like more may be showing up. they arent zoa pox so im not sure.. any ideas?

What color are the strings? Pox wouldn't be strings. Might he those little worm things. I'm not sure of the name, but they're a whitish color. Harmless, just annoying sometimes

Vermatid snails?

spaghetti worms

Yeah spaghetti worms if redish brown colored. Vermatid if more clear white.

Sometimes zoas palys expel waste or their zooxanthelae but that would be stringy stuff from the mouth of the polyp.

I dont believe they are vermated snails. I do have them in my tank but never on a coral. Vermated snails at the base are in a circle and then come out into a tube. and dont usually attach to corals.? correct me if im wrong. I do also have a few spaghetti worms as well but they are in the rocks or substrat. These actually look like they are growing out of the side of my zoa's its very strange.

I tried dippin it the other day in hydrogen peroxide that didnt do anything.
today I tried using twisers and pulling as many as i could off then i dipped in hydrogen peroxid agian.
Anyone have any ideas on what it may be?
