strange growth near my button polyps

[classklown90]

I am new and tried to identify this but could not. it is not aipstatia(sp?) and i took a pic (below) the pictur is horrible so my description may be better. it looks exactly like one of the seeds when you blow the ball of dead dandelions lol and there are about 10-15 of them clustered


(its that little long yellow thing in the middle of the pic)

Maybe a feather duster or other tube worm.

only problem i see with that is that when i touch them, they do not retract

Feather dusters will make a hard tube that poke out like that. Kinda hard to see the pic tho cuz I'm on my phone and its a little blurry.

Could very well be some type of tube worm. Take a look at Hitch Hiking Copepods, Isopods and Amphipods and HITCHHIKER FAQ

could not identify it using those. maybe its just a type of tube worm idk

looks like a tube worm to me. if you touch it is it hard? does it swirl at the base?
