Silk Tube?

I recently purchased a small rock with zoanthids and had to relocate it when my anemone decided to take a walk. When I picked it up, there was a silk-like tube connecting the zo rock and the existing rock. The new rock is about the size of a baseball. The tube connecting the two rocks was about as round as a pencil. The only thing I have seen is a small, black, roundish, fuzzy something living in a hole where the rock had been. it is quick and very sensitive to movement. I am going to look tonight after lights out and see if I can see anything. I also want to see if the silk tube is respun now that it has been moved (whether it is still in the rock or has moved to the existing rockwork).

I will follow up with pictures but I need some help taking the photos while I hold the rock up. I also need to get more gloves... I am kind of wigged out to hold the rock not knowing what is inside. I have been very lucky so far and have not had to deal with any bad hitchhikers yet.
