Antenna

I noticed these about a week after i got my turbos (3), Any idea what these strange antenna are? They look translucent and are striped.

 

Looks like mini brittle stars. They hide in the rock and stick their arms out to feed. They are safe.

Cool avatar by the way.

 

yea i got a few of those brittle stars, seems like they just chill in the rock and stick their arms out , pretty cool. wish they would come out ! lol

 

ditto. i've got a hundred of them in my chaeto. they scavenge and clean up detritus, good guys

 

So i have brittle sea stars living in my turbo's shells? Very strange; Are we sure they aren't worms or some sort of barnacle? The antenna wave around, and retract and are curled at the ends, they come out of these little white bumps on the turbos shell.

 

Look up Spaghetti Worms and see if thats what you have.

ahhh, thats a snail shell and not a rock... then no they are not stars and i'm an idiot. it's pretty wild though, the size is off but they are banded just like my mini stars. i'm interested now

 

Then those are most likely some type of worm. I have no idea what type though. Missed the on the shell part too.
