White Worms with...Feathers?

[Nate Barber]

Hey everyone, I came home about 30 minutes ago from a friend's for the weekend to find these white Worms with what appears to be feathers on one end (small tubeless feather duster?) And I can't find anything on Google or other forums about them. A quick ID or help doing so would be greatly appreciated [emoji16]

They're not tubeless - those white squiggles are a calcareous tube.

Google is great. I was trying to find what these were in my own tank. Honestly, I think it is cool to see a filter feeder. I figure anything small, more sensitive (and not bad) growing is a sign my tank is doing well.

Looking back, I'm laughing at how much I've learned about reef tanks since this post. Glad this thread could be of help!
