What is this??

Hello,
I purchased some tiny frags from LFS and noticed this thing on one of the frags after I put it in the tank, a feather duster??

Thanks,
Mike

+1 its aptasia, if you try to "scrape"it off, scrape ALL OF IT OFF! Any parts left can regenerate and come back. Either break the side off or use other "injection" methods.
