I can try but he only comes out when I feed so I cant really get good photos.
Probably harmless and feeding on leftover food and detritus. Look up "brittle stars" and see if this matches... My micro brittles extend their arms out from rocks when I feed...

Agreed that pics under white light would be helpful here.

That said, I'd say to look up Peanut Worms (Sipuncula) and see if that's a match (it looks to me like it might be in the video, but it is hard to tell for sure under the blue light).
