Default Worm ID please

What are these sticking up ? They don't seem to have anything attached to them when I suction them out during a water change. They appear to be some kind of worm like shell ?

I wonder... does anyone care enough to read signatures if you make them really small? I would not. I would probably moan and complain, read three words and swear once or twice. But since you made it this far, please rate my builds.

But the feathers never come out. They just sit there sticking up doing nothing as far as I can tell. I used to have a ton of feather dusters all over my rock but they are gone.
