Anyone recognize this? New critter in my tank. It's spewing mucus too.

I not seeing it looks like any of the rock flower anemone pictures I looked at or the anemones at my LFS. It's nowhere near that size. After retracting the worm-like extension from the previous video, it's about half the size of a dime. Have not seen any extension since the other night. That extension was about 1 inch long total. Even stumped my LFS. His comment was "there's not much I can't identify, but I have no idea.... Went through the critter ID thread. Looks nothing like anything there.

Looks like a spaghetti worm. Definitely not a rock flower.
 
Thanks @MaxTremors and @shakacuz I see some of those banded tentacles. Better picture attached. Just installed new lights this morning. Still setting up and learning my way around. That thing looked scary in person.
