Tube-like fisherman in Candy Cane coral

[JHamilton0170]

Hi all,

We have a new critter sprouting up through our candy cane coral. It seems to send out a line, and suck it (reel it) back into itself after catching floating matter. I've attached a pic. Is it a tube worm of sorts?

Happy New Year to y'all.

Yep it looks like a tube snail to me too. I have one on the base of my staghorn coral..they are harmless and intersting to watch when they eat
