Hello so I took home some rubble from a 3,000 gallon trough frag system that has been up and running like 10 years in a LFS and found 2 of these in there along with 2 of these red tunicates. My question is what is this worm looking thing that I noticed feeder tenticals for first time today at the tip. Ive never seen anything like this and don’t even know if I posted in proper category because of that. During the day it’s kinda shriveled up always. Any info on either although I know the red one is a tunicate would be greatly appreciated.

I'm not confident but they kind of resemble brittle starfish legs.

Yes there is brittle star legs but I’m talking about the coral or invert right in front of them

Reminds me of a tube anemone, but I am very unsure.

I did think this aswell but over past few days while watching it I have not noticed any opening on the end like open tube for anemone or feather duster. Also right now seems to be longer then normal during day it’s shriveled and about .75inch now it’s about 1.5 inch and has those tentacles

I glued it to the plug so I would assume it’s some kind of a coral and not an invert but I could definitely be wrong

My guess, and it's a guess, is that it is a snake polyp

I believe they're related to zoanthids, I've only seen them for sale once on LiveAquaria
