Sounds to me like they might be little feather dusters. I have those coming out of some of my rocks also. Would really need a pic though for one of the more experienced people to i.d. it for you. Maybe you could zoom in on it.

Your pic looks good to me. Its what I've been calling a feather duster, but the experts here may call it something else. They pop back inside pretty quickly!
