    Colonial hydroids? That was a 100% guess. Possible for a better pic?

    Try to zoom in on the pic after it is taken. Just try a clear pic on macro setting/flower symbol.

    Look like colonial hydroids to me. They could also be some kind of polyp.

    I second that Missionsix.
    I just don't see the feather duster Tubes...looks like one whole long "body" rather than a tube.
