Worm ID please!!!


I have a worm (at least I think it is) reaching out of my live rock, and I'm not sure what to do about it, and want to know if there's any way to get rid of it. About 2 weeks ago, I had a similar run in with a worm, that was wrapping itself around my xenia, and pulling it towards the worm, and was killing it off. Luckily, that tube wasn't in the rock, but attached in a tube on top of the rock, that I was able to smash, and kill the worm. The xenia has been doing great since I killed that worm. Now this other worm has started creeping out, and is getting closer and closer to the xenia. I know the pictures aren't very good, but any ideas???

From the photo I'd say the strands are the feeding tentacles of a terebellid polychaete. These are detritivores that pick up particles with the tentacles for transport back to the mouth. If so it's something to welcome rather than worry about.
