Default What am I growing now???

I've got a weird plant/worm/thingy growing on my live rock. There's 15 -
30 of them on one piece of live rock, and none anywhere else in the
tank. They're mostly about 1/2 - 3/4" long and maybe 3/16 in diameter, a
bright green on top and white at the base where it attaches to the rock,
and they appear to be segmented.

Any ideas? Do they stay, or whould they go? Nothing seems to be
eating/messing with them.

Thanks,

mark h

They're just a type of algae. They're harmless and rather pretty.

They look the same as No. 7 on this page I made up to ask here what some
things were.
