Staring lovingly into my tank tonight I came across a very nasty surprise. Hydroids. I am so utterly pissed. When I started looking I noticed that they are all OVER a few of my smaller pieces of rock. I am posting a couple of pictures of them, sorry they arent overly clear....but they were the best I could get
Here they are very fluorescent green

And in this one you can see the tube really well, the Hydroid itself is actually so white its almost translucent.

I am thinking that since I have quite a bit of sun cured live rock that has been sitting out and is completely sun bleached I may remove these pieces and put those in. Thoughts? These particular pieces of rock are also the ones I had bubble algae with, however after I got that under control I have never seen them return. I really hope someone can tell me I am mistaken here. But I know I am right.
