To keep tetras from getting stuck on the arm.

254's original "grabber" had problems with that, and they solved it with a kite shaped frame around the prong that stuck out, so that the tetras were supported and had a very hard time getting stuck.

Looks like 22 modded that design and came up with the one shown here.
