Came in on some gulf live rock. I’ve only ever seen these little feathery looking arms sticking out, never the whole body. Should I be concerned?

Were you able to watch the video? for some reason it won’t play on my phone after i posted it so just wanna make sure others can see.Definitely a filter feeder of some sort. Could be a cucumber. In general I would say they are harmless though.
Can’t see the video, but the picture was pretty clear. Folks will post their vids to YouTube and drop the link in. One day there will be an R2R app where video issues be gone (one day…)Were you able to watch the video? for some reason it won’t play on my phone after i posted it so just wanna make sure others can see.
i have had a yellow sea cucumber years ago, and it ate in a similar way, almost like it’s catching food and then licking it off its “fingers” lol
Cucumber for sureCame in on some gulf live rock. I’ve only ever seen these little feathery looking arms sticking out, never the whole body. Should I be concerned?
if it starves or dies for whatever reason do you think it’ll poison my tank? it’s only a 50 gallon AIO so i’m worried about the small volumeYeah, looks like it's probably a cuke to me - as long as you don't have anything that would actively harass it in the tank, it should probably be fine.

No. If it starves, it will shrink and shrivel away...if it starves or dies for whatever reason do you think it’ll poison my tank? it’s only a 50 gallon AIO so i’m worried about the small volume
It's such a small one that even if it died from an injury, it wouldn't nuke the tank.if it starves or dies for whatever reason do you think it’ll poison my tank? it’s only a 50 gallon AIO so i’m worried about the small volume
Likely notif it starves or dies for whatever reason do you think it’ll poison my tank? it’s only a 50 gallon AIO so i’m worried about the small volume
well that’s good news. the shriveling away is sad although better than nuking everything i guess lolIt's such a small one that even if it died from an injury, it wouldn't nuke the tank.
