Is this normal?

I've got a JKR Candy Hearts Tenuis. It kind of struggled for a bit but it seems to be on the uphill now. But I'm not quite sure what's going on with the tips. The top three (only the top three) are white and have what almost looks like a feather coming out of them quickly then retracting. I'm sure it's eating, but it almost seems like there might be a barnacle (or three rather) growing on the top tips of my Tenuis...? It's my first and only acro and I haven't seen anything like it in videos online...

Sorry for the poor quality.

That appears to be a barnacle.
