There are a few of them around my tank. It looks like its not hurting my zoas but it's bothering them and its on my toadstool too but it's fine.

It's like a worm and a whitish pale color but some parts of it look a brown algae color. Part of it is showing in the dark spot of the pic.

Not a Fire Worm most definitely, nor a Spaghetti Worm. Google *Digitate Hydroid* and see if that matches what you have.

It's on almost all of my zoas too. It's not white and pale like the first pic, that turned out to be something else but I got it out. It resembles cyano in color but its stringy

That's almost impossible to answer with out knowing what it is. The pics are just too blurry to ID.

They don't look blurry to me lol. I'm almost positive it's cyano now. I'm cutting down my light cycle and going to feed less to see if it helps. Also might change the filters on my rodi as they are a few years old.

Looks like a vermetid snail from the first pic.



You can try and snap off the calcified tube but the tend to grow back.

Im not sure we are talking about the same thing but Here is a picture for reference. In the first picture you posted you can see the tube right in the center. The pictures with the leather it almost looks like you have two or three in the bottom left corner of the rock.

If it's a vermetid snail, superglue will take care of it real quick!

I have a lot of those, however what I'm talking about is either Dinos or cyano. It's stringy and is growing on my corals. It will blow right off but it always comes back

I thought I might be looking at the wrong thing. Either way if its dino's or Cyano I would do a blackout for 3 or 4 days. Should seriously crop it back and wont hurt the corals.
