Vet assistance isn't necessary. It's called a prolapse. A male turtle gets them sometimes. What you're seeing is the reproductive organ of a male turtle. As long as it goes back in, it's fine.

Turtleowner, I can tell you are most likely new to RES. Please check your sources before posting especially if you are telling someone to go to the vet.

The technical term for the display is "fanning".
