Unidentified object (1 Viewer)

Can anyone identify the tubish object at the base of the rock or even give me an idea of what to research? Every night it rises from the sand and sort of feels around. I thought it was a fighting conch at first but it never moves from that spot. It's definitely not a bristle worm.

Could be a peanut worm

I agree a peanut worm. They often look like they are extending by rolling from the inside out.

And vice-versa. Which is why their mouth structure is called an introvert (I'm not joking). How cool is that.

I apologize for the upside down pictures. They looked right when I posted them with my phone.

Thanks for the lead, I'll check it out!

I'd have to say that it's a positive ID. Thanks again for the help. It appears that it is reef safe, does anyone know anything to the contrary?

Nope reef safe
