I've just noticed that on a rock with some ricordeas there is a small worm or feeding mouth like projection that seems to be grabbing at and eating algae. Does anyone know what it is

It's the whitish tube thing just under the coraline algea
 
It a spaghetti worm in the rock looking for food.
 
Ive read it somewhere.....here it is frm thereefuge.com

Spaghetti Worms

Spaghetti worms live in burrows and search for food by extending their very long tentacles. Desirable in a reef aquarium, with their presence indicating a healthy reef system and their scavenging of uneaten food. However, the long tentacles may bother corals that they pass over.
