Unsure exactly what you are asking ID for?

I'm not exactly sure what your referring to either, but you might have a Stomatella snail there on the right. Can you describe what it is that your seeing?

It's on top of the polyp.
@Lionfish Lair I think it's too long and I see legs for a nudi.

It is the white thingy in the seven o'clock position. It looks like sand but has tentacles that retract when touched. I thought a nudibranch but it has not moved in 48 hrs

I wonder if it might be a small Syllid worm.
