Help ID this hitchhiker?

My turbo snail was giving the Nero 5 a good cleaning and I notice the red glow coming from the shell. Looks like a feather duster but I’m not sure if that’s the actual name or if it’s actually some sort of tube worm.

Yeah, it's a feather duster worm (taxonomic family Sabellidae), and feather duster worms are a kind of tube worm. Harmless filter feeder.
