Hi guys, sharing this as I've not seen anything quite like it before and it seemed interesting to me. Anyone know exactly what it is? I'm assuming some kind of filter feeder.

Thanks for sharing the pictures and the info. I think it does look like it has a complete crown to me though it doesn't really show in the video, and I can't quite get a good angle in a picture with how it is positioned in the tank sorry. Just beneath it to the right is another one. It almost exactly looks like zoanthid in that it has a complete circle around it.The unfurling motion, incomplete "crown" of cirri, and pair of opercula (opening plates) indicate this is a barnacle, also a harmless filter-feeder. Feather dusters have a complete crown surrounding their mouths, extend instead of unfurling, and live in tubes.
Possibly a Christmas tree worm?
Definitely doesn't appear to be either of these to me.Snake Polyp (Lsaurus spp) it’s a type of zoa family
They are actually the same thing, though it's hard to see from the picture/video. The two on the bottom right look exactly the same as the one that opens up in the video when you look from the top down, I just can't get a proper video/picture of the top one because of the placement in the tank.There are two small feather dusters in the photo, the kind that often come in on live rock. The other animal in the video resembles a barnacle.
The pump goes in the far right side of the sump it looks like where the floss is.
Ah! Okay. You have pretty little feather dusters, which are filter feeders.Definitely doesn't appear to be either of these to me.
