Thank you! I had no idea. I was thinking it must be a parasite. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.

perhaps a Cirratulid family worm
Seems right to me - harmless/beneficial:
Looks like either a hair worm (Cirratulidae) or a spaghetti worm (Terebellide) to me - if the tentacles all come out from a single point, it’s a spaghetti worm; if they come out from basically all over the body it’s a hair worm.
