It's a type of worm, I just can't remember the name at the moment....you can put a dab of super glue gel at the opening and seal him in.
 
I got one ATM hanging out in my sand bed. I believe it's a Spionid Worm. They create their own tubes out of surrounding materials. What your seeing are the palps used for feeding. Harmless filter feeder, definitely no need to kill it.

The coral is doing great! Looks like something ate the worm....
