Feather duster living in my red and green war coral?

[ErinD]

Hi Everyone,
I recently added a red and green war coral to my tank and today noticed this follicle like hand coming out of a mouth. Any ideas? Should I let it be or is this just turning into an expensive home for a parasite?

I can't see your picture, but I'm curious too. I have a new Trachy with something similar going on.

Sorry, I'll try and upload it as a picture - the video only seems to work occasionally.

Looks like feeder tentacles extending from a mouth on the war coral to me. Leave it be. As it acclimates and grows you'll see bunches of feeders come out. Especially when it feeds at night.

Ah, interesting - I expected the tentacles to be more like the ones on my tricolor. Ok - I will try and take a breath and relax a bit. Obviously my first thought was "OH MY GOD IT'S A WORM IN MY CORAL."
