id please w/picture (im freakin out, man)

I have a peice of rock, tons of feather duster and lots of shrooms on it.

But the strange thing is, all these little gray tentacles hanging out of it, they are about 1/4 inch to 3/4 and grayish color and black stripes, they seem to be it sets of 3, and they are defiently alive, they move, retreat into the hole they are sticking out of, and at night you can see them moving food sometimes.


you can clearly see them in the picture all around the shrooms, they are kinda freaky looking and sorta freak me out looking at them but seem harmless.

any idea's?

That rock is crawling with serpent stars!!! Harmless detrius scavengers. Wish I had a piece of rock like that. Best I have found is the ultra tiny ones and a couple of the small ones like that.

btw, will they ever come out and move around, or just stay in that rock and hide in the hole?
