Default Looks Like a Q-tip end~

Sorry about the second q-tip question but I have a bunch of little pod like homes attached to the live rock. They look like an end of a Q-Tip with a little hole in the middle. Then the other day I saw a what looked to be like a millipede of some sort. I could not get a picture but it was about 1 1/2 " long bownish orange with white bristles on each side. Could these feed on zoos or not?

It would be a bristleworm...I don't know about the pod like homes...I believe your first q tips were calcareous sponges. Your other ones could be sea squirts (tunicates) or sponges.
bristleworms normally do not do damage unless their population is out of control. You may consider looking into livestock that eats them!
