Sweeper Tentacle Millepora

[nanoreefer22]

Well I don't know if this is something common, but I've never seen this happen before. At the tip of a milli frag where the polyp at the very top is it sent out a sweeper or at least something that looked similar to a sweeper. In total the length of it was about 2 inches and extended from one tentacle from the entire polyp, right from the tip. It took 10 minutes to extend it fully and then retract it back in.

Does this normally happen? I did happen to break out the camera and snap a couple shots really quick. The first shot is with it fully extended and the second shot is it half way in.

They're Mesentrial filaments. Sent out for feeding, stress, etc.
