Are they the same as regular tentacles only longer?

Long, somewhat conical fingers with little bubbles on the end. Alot of them are semi transparent. HTH

This will give you a better idea of what to look for.

ok guys, thx a lot...i'll keep looking but so far I haven't seen any from my lil frog. Do they do this at night or is there a particular time to look?

Check em at night after the lights go out. That's when mine are longest on other LPS. I don't see them as much from frogspawn, though. Galaxia usually have nice sweepers. I have a friend that had a rugby ball sized red colony with 7-8" sweepers...
