Need an ID on these things

Just did the first water change on a nearly 3 week old tank . Suddenly all these tube type things popped up on the sandbed? They don’t seem to be moving but tons of them just came out of nowhere?

Welcome to the party! It does look like some kind of poop, just seems like a lot from a few newly added inverts. Any chance you may have introduced some hitchhikers on live rock that you haven't seen yet?

Thank you! At first I thought they may be some kind of benign worm that I have had before in my 32 gallon but alas no tentacles and they aren't moving. Inspected the rock prior to putting it in the tank there always a chance I missed something but I know better than to just pick some live rock and toss it in a tank ahaha
