I think these little creatures are killing my kenya tree. The base of my kenya tree has been limp for the past couple days, but the stalks (?) has been blooming during the daytime.

I believe it's these little creates that are growing on the rock next to it that is releasing their tentacles (?). Can anyone help ID them?

Thanks!

Those are little worms (or snails...). The "tenticles" are merely slimy feeding "nets". They aren't harming your tree, although the nets may irritate it.

These worms don't move though. Is there a name of these worms that I can google?

Also any idea how come the tree base is limp? Can the base die but the top of it will still bloom?
