I've noticed that one of the frags I bought in a LFS came with some kind of a "hairy" worm. I tried to manually remove it but it grows back and now it sticking to the sand. It's white/transparent and looks like jelly-fish skin. Il try to take better pics...

 

Heres a pic: GIF so you can see better.

Did you dip the frag? Looks like a Z/P frag dip it again in 50/50 saltwater/peroxide. Were gloves. If that is alive it will not be happy in that dip most likely will fall off on it's own after a few minutes. You can also dip in Bayer if that does not work..

Pretty sure I saw that on a Twilight zone episode. . . not sure what it is, but it would be gone from my tank. . . 

Agree with a dip ASAP. . .

Looks like you've got a spaghetti worm. They don't do harm, if that's what it is, might just irritate your polyps. 

Looked like a spaghetti worm with feather. I did the 50/50 dip and the zoas are recovering. The worm is GONE :).  Thank you!! Can I try this with SPS or just zoas?
