Worm?

[MikeyZO]

Last night under the moon LEDs, I noticed a wormlike tenticle sticking out of a small opening of a piece of live rock. At first I thought it was a worm, but the more I watched, the more I'm not sure. I tried to take a picture but it didnt come out. It looked like a whiteish opaque thing, no tenticles coming off of it like a spaghetti worm and no legs like a bristle worm. It was tubular, smooth, and the end seemed to be roundish. What was strange was that it would poke out of the rock, then stretch about an inch or two, then retract right back into the same hole. I actually saw the same thing come out of the skin of my GSPs one night when the entire colony was closed, and I assumed it was just part of the GSPs. But there are no corals that I see anywhere near this spot last night. Any one have any ideas what it might have been?

I have two of those myself. What the heck are they?

I looked all through the HH guide and all the links that were listed. I didnt see anything that resembled what I'm talking about. Any other ideas??

I have them too.They seem to be filter feeders and presume to be reef safe.I see them only at night.there was a thread on this a while back.

It sounds like it could be a peanut worm.
