I just brought home 4 turbo snails (never had them before) when I was looking closely at one I could see a tiny ‘fan’ coming out of a round thing on the shell (in the circle on pic).

If it helps, I’ve noticed it ‘pulses’ in the current (expands and contracts back into the little circle).

Any idea what this is? Anything to worry about?

Thoze look like feather dusters there reef safe there actually a type of worm. I wouldnt worry they dont do anything
 
Regardless of what it is, little filter feeders like that are usually harmless (but some can be hard to keep alive long term)
