I cant ID this thing for the love of god. It looks like a red feather duster or aiptasia. I hope its NOT aiptasia. Maybe you guys can ID this. Thanks a bunch.

I have some of those. Some type of feather duster. They are white looking tubes with red feather heads. Pretty common.

Probably a polychaete worm in the genus spirobis. But that's a tough picture to be certain on its ID.

Looks like the little red feather dusters I have on some of my rocks.

if it looks fuzzy then its probably not aptasia. +1 for the feather duster, theyre pretty common
