not sure if these even move, if they do it’s extremely slowly. But I’m assuming they do tho because I just put this live rock in my empty Refugium 4 days ago and they weren’t there before. The live rock does have pods on them, have seen a couple bristle worms and just curious to see what these are

Have been trying to get a good picture for the last half hour and this is the best I can get lol

They range from 1/16” -1/8” long
Some are straight some are arched

In this picture it looks like there’s feather looking things coming out the end, but im not sure if this is some type of reflection or something with the camera.

They look like one of the species of micro feather dusters. A harmless filter feeder.

Those are red hard shell feather duster. My CBB clean them all up and they are very good to acclimated CBB. Live food for CBB until it adapted to tank food.
