    Digitate hydroids are typically harmless (unlike colonial hydroids).

    Other things that look very similar and act very similar are;

    some spaghetti worms.....harmless
    Some species of benthic (they don't swim, they stay attached to rock or sand) comb jellies (ctenophore)......also harmless

    Does anyone know how to get rid of them just in case they are bad. Some say harmless and some say bad.

    i would leave them unless you actually notice them affecting something, mine actually colonize over the majority of my GSP and the polyps look great.
