This lives on one of my rocks, the tentacles reminds me of a sea apple, I’m just not familiar with them living inside crevices I’m the rock

It looks like a filter feeding type sea cucumber to me...I've got one (different color though) and that's how it looks feeding.

Thank you, that was my other guess. Does yours live inside the rock also, most of the species I know are sand dwelling

Not inside a rock but it's body is "sticky" and sticks in crevices easily to anchor it. Mine like to be on a particular rock that receives good flow...he doesn't move from that spot

Heres a video and a pic where you can see how his outer skin sticks to the rock when he wants to stay there if you look closely

Thank you I believe to be it, I can’t see the body just the tentacles coming out of a hole in the rock, every now and then there’s a cloud of something coming from the other end of the tunnel I believe I now know it to be sea cucumber excrements :p
