What is this?

My tank is about 5 months old and out of nowhere these two feather like bunches have appeared growing out of my sandbed.
They are white with black dots and they are only about an inch long.
Does anyone know what these are?

Sounds like small feather dusters. But a pic is worth a thousand words.

Right and if that's what they are they will spread.
