White tube sticking out

[Mariette]

So I found this guy today. About the thickness of a pin. Appears hallow. When pushed w a spoon, it moves as a solid tube but pivots where it's attached. Doesn't react. Never seen anything like this before

Update. Tube has flopped over. Still ridged. But now sideways.

Found a few more. Anyone?

To u said its hard, correct? I would say vermited, but it seems really long and narrow. Also seems to lack the common purple-brown color of vermited.

Next guess would be some sort of hydroid, but I am not sure they would feel hard and rigid.

Anyone with more experience on #reefsquad have an idea?

Look like sponge.

Does any appendage come out from it?

Looks like spinoid worm feeding tube

it's hard. Does that make sense?

Look like sponge.

but it's hard?

If its rigid, it may be a sea pen

Could be a macro algae as well. Let it grow and we will see.

Tried. Nope. I gave it a few exploratory pokes and found it laying down the next day. Think I killed whatever it was
