What are these creatures?

These semi-clear tubes are attached to the base of my Pagoda coral. They are fairly stiff, and never change size or shape. Any ideas as to what they are?

Reinhold,
Those are Tunicates, harmless filter feeders. They come in many shapes and forms. I've got lots of them.
Here's a patch of them in my reef.

Two awesome pictures too!

Reinhold, where exactly is your Pagoda placed to get that picture?

I've got the Pagoda coral leaning against the LR on the DSB in an area of moderate lighting and moderate current. I tried it in a couple of other spots, but the polyps didn't fully extend until it sat at this spot. It seems to be doing well.
