Feather duster??

[TylerJaid]

Hey all I was just doing some tank maintenance and noticed this little tiny thing on the base of my coral plug, I noticed it after feed as it was all the way out and would catch particles in the water than go back in and come out a minute or so later, is it hydroids or some kind of feather duster?? It is very small thanks for any help!

Its hard to see it but it looks like a clove polyp to me.

I was thinking the same thing but it does shoot in and out very fast almost like a aptasia but I know it’s not that, I have never seen my clove polyps do that. (On a side note do you know what kind of coral that is in the picture? No one has been able to tell me) thanks for your help!

I'm not positive cause I've never had one, but I believe it is a kenya tree coral. Hopefully someone can confirm 100%. Good luck

looks like a kenya tree to me.

hard to tell regarding feather duster, but the description fits.

So far right is a small Kenya tree, the one in question is on the left under the zoas it is something different I just am not sure what I haven’t been able to figure it out!

I have a couple very tiny feather dusters that look just like that. They came on a frag and have a yellow-green fluorescence under blue light. They're very durable as I've brushed algae off the frags multiple times and they always appear again.

Agreed with the activity likely being a feather duster/worm of some kind. The coral looks most like a Nepthea from the pictures.
