    Anyone know what these are? There used to only be one so I nipped it off a bit but it doesn't appear to have slowed it down at all.

    I have those. They come out at night. I haven't been worried about them.

    It's growing more like macro. They never extend and retract they just grow like fingers and are somewhat stiff. They look slightly clear/green so i'm thinking it's either photosynthetic or it's growing algae on it.

    If those zoo's are on a plug/rock. I'd take it out and scrub/scrape the area real good. Using a little tank water to rinse it off before putting it back in. That's it.
