Quick question for this little thing poking out of the bottom of my torch coral. It looks like two antennas of a worm or soemthing. I removed it one night manually and it just came back.
Can’t tell from th picture, when you say bottom? If you mean from the top when the tentacles are retracted it could be stinging tentacles that come out at night…but not the best of pic to really tell.

Honestly it's doing way better and already re growing on both heads, I did not get to checking my parameters as I have been away but it has grown significantly from where it was before I left. It's also working its way to splitting as it's bulging in the front and new polyps growing where it's splitting. I dosed amino acids amin last night and it seems to be happy woth that.
Good luck. I hope it survives!

I know it has been awhile but not sure if you ever got an answer to these questions..

This is a tube worm, if it is in the dead/bottom part of the coral, it may be a spionid but there are other types and hard to identify which one. Phyllochaetopterus (had to google to remember how to spell that, eh!) make tubes out of sand.

Any idea on what type of mushroom this is ?

This is not a mushroom but a ticked off palythoa

Got another one for you what do you think is going on with my torch here ?

I can't tell anything other than it is closed up, photo is too blue
