I've got a jack o' lantern lepto with a weird something-or-other on top. I'm sure some of it are feeder tentacles, but the rest looks different. Why would feeder tentacles be concentrated in one area, anyway? Fwiw, I do have the thrice-cursed vermetid snails nearby. Do you think this stuff is a mix of feeder tentacles and vermetid snail mucus? Do I need to worry about it?

I’m not able to see your attachment. They do have multiple mouths as they grow. I would be interested to see your picture to confirm.

I can see the video. I just looks like tentacles to me.
Could be. The lights have come up and there's still some fuzzy stuff. I think there's an actual vermetid snail on the top of it (that flagpole at the peak, and one on the side).
