What is this green tube thing growing with my Zoas.

I have a few of them in my tank.

Tube worm with algae on it.


If you are not asking about the bubble algae but the tube like thing with a green tint, it looks like a tube worm with green algae on it to me. Its a good thing for filtering water of particulates. Not so sure about the green slime algae though. That and the bubble algae indicate nitrates/phosphates are too high. As always, a water change would be helpful.
 
Thanks for the ID.

Yeah I was gone for about a month and didn't have any water changes for the month before. I did a 30g change today and should help out the othe algea problems. I will probably do another water change next week.
