Hello,
look at what I saw just now on my euphyllia torch, this actually looked like a large mouth! I took the coral out and pulled it away. can anyone tell what it was? I found two.

I also noticed lots of worms at the bottom of the coral. and several around its head. they were not soft and looked like a tube with a worm inside them. are they bad for the coral?

The second picture looks like cluster feather dusters.
