Guys,

I have a hitchhiker with long thin kind of forward facing antennai (approximately 3-4 antenna) emanating from the sand bed.. The antennai are about 2-3 inches, whitish, with very faint tan colored bands. I've tried to get a pic, but my phone nor mirrorless can get a focus. Not even a manual focus..

Any ideas what this hitchhiker might be?
 
Sometimes even a blurry pic is better than no picture. Make sure the blue lights of your fixture are turned down so the light is white/neutral and then try to snap one or two pictures with different focus points when possible.

Have you tried catching it? (Please don't use your bare hands as we don't know what it is 😅)
Do the antennae move?
What exactly is "forward facing" in this case? If the antannae come out of the sand, I would say that sounds like the antannae are directed upwards towards the water surface, is that correct? Or are they directed in parallel with the sand bed?
