Thanks to Mr. Cody and Kelly Duffie, I now know what this is. Those who suggested FA embedded on plant stem were correct. The plant is Spike Rush, which I have along with another type. Hopefully the new dye application and aeration with keep most of the FA at bay.

Thanks again for everyone's input.
