What is this next to the Zoa’s? Discovered it in my QT tenk. It has bright neon green tips on long thin brown pipe like stems? No polop at the end seems like the top of the pipe is colored neon green. Is it a good or bad find?

My Pac-Man acro has bright green tips like that but the pipe color is pink. Maybe that one is just discolored? Could it be that?

Can you get some pictures in white light? How long has it been there? Is it hard to soft/bendy?

I bought the Zoas about 10 days ago and spot it the same day. I think it may be a ball anemone, but the cool looking neon green tip that it sometimes display confuses me

Hi @JFJ I have the same one in my DT on pease of rock covered with star polyps. the tubes come out separate from the rock structure and are easy bending on touching. It's bright neon green under the blue/uv light. I was think that's some type of feather dusters but I'm not sure as they don't go in the thin tubes fast once disturbed. I'll try to observe them under microscope during the next few days. I found 5-6 there coming out like a clump but they aren't spreading at the moment.
Sorry for the blurry photos:
