Some sort of Sea Cucumber perhaps?

I did more looking around online but still can't find it. It's a hollow tube, maybe some sort of tube worm.

Picture isn't sharp enough to be positive, but looks like some kind of Synaptid sea cucumber.

Some reading material: Aquarium Invertebrates: The Medusa Worms (http://www.advancedaquarist.com/2002/11/inverts)
Sea cucumbers can be dangerous due to the poison many (all?) of them have - even the good ones.
