What's this on my coral?

I'm hoping someone might know what these red things are growing on the stems of my trumpet coral. I noticed them a while back. They can't be much taller than 1/4" or 5/16". They are reddish brown, and look like tiny palm trees or really thin pom-poms.
Just want to know if they are safe or not, and if not how to take 'em out.
Thanks.

 

hydroids? Someone jump in if I am wrong. Bad stuff. It can take over a tank.

 

I really cant see very well

 

Hydroids. Id kill em 'fore they sting that trumpet to death! !

 

need a better pic, cant see any sharpness to the current pic

 

I'll search hydroids and see if I can find a better pic online.
What's the best way to kill them? Pick them off with tweezers?

 

i guess :-/

 

Can't find any pics of hydroids that look like what's on my trumpets?
Any other ideas, or is this just a different kind?

 

Here's a better pic.

 

they are just blurry and I cant tell, are the aiptasia
