My coco worm has a hitchhiker attached to it that I can't seem to identify.

It's a small roundish light pink hard mass with a siphon extending out of one end. It retracts the siphon if disturbed.

I have some pictures, but given its small size and location towards the back of the tank, the quality is not the greatest.

Hard to tell, but I'd say either tunicate or some sort of bivalve. Harmless filter-feeder, either way.
