Hey Guys,

This is the best picture I could get.
I think it's a tubeworm I'm just looking for some confirmation.

It has a white tube with a feather-like thing coming out the top.

feather dusters they are all over live rock when you get it.

Sabellidae (feather duster worms) are sedentary marine polychaetes where the head is mostly concealed by feathery branchiae. They build tubes out of parchment, sand, and bits of shell. They tend to be common in the intertidal zones around the world.
