I've never seen an acro with sweeper tentacles, do you have a pic?

Man I cant get a picture with my iPhone that’s worth a darn. I’ve noticed it on my PC Rainbow sometimes too. Not polyp extension either. Clear longer tentacles but no other long long like a normal one
I've seen them usually when I've fed the tank a little, stirred up debris, or when the acro is encrusting I see them usually at the base. Sometimes look like a few mm dental floss. I recall some folks said it was normal, other said it was due to some stressor...

I’ve noticed them at the same time when feeding or when debris also. Weirdly I’ve noticed them more and more on their happier times. I almost thought it was spawning or something which I know isn’t dangerous.

If they look similar to these, look up mesenterial filaments.

So mixed opinions and experiences but I do feel like my nutrients being low isn’t causing this right now. Your thoughts?

Like coming out of the polyps right? Only coming out of a couple of many growing teas too. Do yours come out when feeding?

Yes out of the polyps, no not during feeding. It's like each polyp has one really long filament.
