Probably a filter feeding polychaete worm, usually called feather duster worms. Harmless. Hides in a hole and deploys feathery tentacles to trap floating particles.
I am in Chapel Hill and my tank is a Florida grass flats tank. Only organisms from Florida and the Caribbean.
I have lots of macro algae, a gorgonian, a Royal Gramma and 3 chalk basslets. and some feather duster worms.
In the 2 years I have had a marine tank I have learned that having a good population of pods - amphipods and copepods - may help avoid the scourge of slime algae. I would suggest making this a priority after cycling the tank.

That sounds amazing, we work over by the airport but live in rocky mount. Most of the items we have gotten have been from the fishroom over on capital. We did dose one bottle of copepods but we going to order galaxy pods. Our goal is a manderian the most we have is two clown, xenia, three pj cardinals. We finally had to break down and buy hermit crabs, trochus,asrea. Not alot currently having a time with diatoms right now. We did a small cleaning and notice it out and disappears super quick. Just had no clue but thank you for the information. Very helpful.
