I just got 3 new corals yesterday. On the side of one of my chalices is this little thing that has a stalk and then a feather like fan on the end of it. Definitely appears to be a filter feeder. The feathers look like my purple porcelain crabs feeder arms. I don't know how I'd get a picture of it because it's in the middle of my tank and I just have a regular phone camera. Any help would be nice.

Edit: here's pics.

I hope that's what it is.y first hitchhiker that I noticed. Also had a few cope/amphipods come with this. I also noticed something before I got these that looked like a 1 mm snail shell. I touched it and it appeared to move. I came back later and I couldn't find it anymore.
