    a picture would be extremely helpful, but my guess is feather dusters or aiptasia/mojano.

    Not majanos or aiptasia.. Looks like some sort of nem though (kind of like mini bubble tips). Very cool looking. How fast are they growing/ spreading?

    I have a sneaking suspicion they will end up being bad.

    They could be majanos as they do bubble up.
