I’ll try, that’s the only one I can get of it cause it retracts back inside the rock. It’s just a long brownish thing. When it opens, it has a white mouth and will open and close and then retract back in.
Doesn't sound like anything harmful. It obviously hasn't hurt the coral.

Sorry I can't be more helpful.

It’s okay, the coral looks good in my opinion. Bought from Facebook i just happen to see this weird thing sticking out.
That's one of the joys of having a reef aquarium... all the extra life you find! :)

I haven’t seen it so anything, it was only out for a minute or two and when it was nothing came out of its mouth. I tried to get clamps and pull it out and it hasn’t came back out.
Interesting! Hopefully the expert I tagged will weigh in with some answers.
