It’s a feather duster. If you leave him he’ll make an new tube

Alrighty so I did some internet digging and it looks most likely to be a Platynereis dumerilii ragworm. I don't think it was a feather duster because the pink part moved like a millipede as if it were a bunch of little legs. I've also not seen any feather dusters in the tank besides the tiny ones that make long squiggly tubes.

Whether a rag or bristle....flush it and keep an eye out for any others
