Fan Worm. Can become a nuisance but manageable.

How can I get rid of it ? And do you know how you get those?

Theyre hitch hikers which is how you acquired it.
To rid. . . You can squirt gel superglue into the tube OR squirt Kalk mixed with water into a paste into its' tube

No coral?? if not- would have to be the sand OR when the fish were netted, ended up in the net and into the fish bag

Just a fan worm. They filter feed through the water and are not harmful. If they reach plaque proportions then your feeding too much. Some are quite beautiful.

Concur with all the above.
