I don’t have the steadiest hand, but here is one of them. The other 2 are back behind the rock where I cannot snap a hood photo of them.
You could drop a fish food pellet on it and see if it’s arm/tentacles grab it and bring it to its center of its disk/mouth.

I’d suggest having a couple of glass vials around so if you can catch something in question you can put it in a vial for a 360 degree viewing. Container Store sells them.

The one I dug up disappeared and has not come back. I couldn’t manage to collect it. I did however find a confirmed feather duster on my lobo, which I just got two days ago. I can see the tube on the rock it is on.

The next chance I have, I’ll put one in a vile, and get back to you. Thank you for your help

That sounds like aiptasia. They can shrink down to nothing like that and you have to wait for them to re-emerge. Feather dusters just retract inside a tube that you would be able to see and/or crush.

That might be a bristle cage worm. I got one recently on a Trachy frag. you can see it on the front. But from the first pics you posted I don’t think those were a bristle cage worm.
