Well I noticed the arm that bent was the one I was able to zap.
It seemed to take 4 or 5 zaps before it would fall off. I didn't
notice the crystal glowing at all. Too busy aiming at the
"squid" to notice I guess.

I didn't realize the star was the one making the Crab nebula.
That was interesting.

Those are pretty weird all right. Some kind of new age version.

In Atlantis I the Atlanteans who were pilots wore small crystals
around their necks which somehow enabled them to communicate
with larger crystals on those interesting-looking airships so they
could fly the ships. They had to train starting at a very young age
in order to gain enough control to properly be in synch with their
crystal and successfully pilot the ships. And there were a very
limited number of crystals left.
That's all I remember about the crystals. I played the game last year.
I liked the airships. Watching them fly was the best part of
the game.
