My guess is a stomatella...which are harmless.

Thanks Chris. Appreciate your help.

Whoever guessed sea cucumber was right. The body shape and the elongate papillae all along the body are characteristic for this group of cukes.

LeslieH may be on the money with what she says.

I have something in my rock that looks like what you originally described, but nothing like your picture!

I haven't even seen the whole thing. I see about 3 inches sometimes, but the rest never comes out of the rock. It's not chunky. It's kind of a peachy-clear colored apendage (?) with lots of whitish spikes. It's so wierd. We see him come out a little more each day. My camera got water spilled on it so for now I can't take a pic.

Any guesses?

OK I just saw a picture of a bristleworm. That's it! Is it bad?

No, they are good. They help keep things clean.
