I have several of these and have been seeing them for a while. They look like a thin strip of shag carpeting the color of a carrot. 2 are out tonight.

Spaghetti worm and removes excess detritus.
 
These don't look like spaghetti worms. The frills blow around in current like hair and originate all over it. They do not seem to be used to feed.
 
I have watched them spawn. The release smoke like a stomatella snail. Hopefully I can get a better picture someday.
