I bought this GSP from Facebook market and I see this inch long tentacle sticking out, what is it and is it harmful. I know there’s a lot of micro brittle starfish but this one is different.

I tried that and as soon as I touch it, it closes up quick.looks like vermitid snail. If so, cut it down to base or super glue over the opening
Is that a bad thing, if so how can I get it out?It is hard to tell, but it almost looks like the mouth of a vermited snail
So the tube retracts back into the coral?I tried that and as soon as I touch it, it closes up quick.
Yes, it comes out and the tip will open up. If anything gets close to it, it shrivels up and hides again.So the tube retracts back into the coral?
When I get home I can, I have a 55 gal and just my two clown fish in there.It should be no big deal, can you post a picture of your whole tank I’m curious how the black sand looks ?
That's a feather duster worm. Good to have and won't bother the coral.Yes, it comes out and the tip will open up. If anything gets close to it, it shrivels up and hides again.
*sheI didn’t really think about that, but if that is the case, like he said it should be OK
Sorry, my bad*she
Just new to adding coral and don’t want my tank to crash, there’s tons of brittle starfish in the rock to so I just want to be cautious.I didn’t really think about that, but if that is the case, like he said it should be OK
I looked up what that is and it don’t look like that.That's a feather duster worm. Good to have and won't bother the coral.
Post more photos when you can. If it retracts, it's not a vermetid.I looked up what that is and it don’t look like that.
I’ll try, that’s the only one I can get of it cause it retracts back inside the rock. It’s just a long brownish thing. When it opens, it has a white mouth and will open and close and then retract back in.Post more photos when you can. If it retracts, it's not a vermetid.
Yeah first time adding coral and bought offline and I keep looking all over and all I see are these tiny red and white legs moving around.It may be a feather dusters or similar.
It's hard to tell.
If you get on top of your other 'micro bristle starfish' you might be able to see this as an astonishing plus as a single 'great addition'
