No such things as silly questions here. Can you get a pic of it. Someone is sure to ID it for you.

may be some form of tube worm...some have coverings made from sand cemented together rather than a harder solid tube.
how big is the guy?
see this article...family sabellidae...figure 6
http://reefkeeping.com/issues/2003-05/rs/index.htm
or it may be something completely different  |

My guess is when the worm comes out, you see a pale white string for a "worm". If so, you have no worries. The crushed coral tube is nothing more then the worm's mucus slime coat creating a "glue" to cement together near by crushed coral and sand.  I would share the name, but I am blanking right now.

no cheating...name a song with the words "very strange" in it...
I have no idea what the critter is though. A search revealed nothing and it will be educational.
