I recently received some frags from WWC. Right away I noticed what looks like swaying antenna. I didn't dip them. I tried to glue them shut but they returned a few days later. Any ideas? Would dipping kill them?
I had a massive Vermetid problem a while back but don't remember the antenna being this long.

Thanks. Good to know. Leave it be or get rid of them while there are only a few?
I would leave it be. They are usually non-invasive and are a sign of a healthy tank if they survive, similar to feather dusters.
