Medusa worm for sure. Good clean up crew, it's actually a type of sea cucumber believe it or not! It will get bigger as it ages. I think they max out at like 2'.
Very lucky hitchhiker! You don't see these too often.

Does the tube appear to be made of sand? If so, I would assume it's a Spinoid worm, completely harmless and cool biodiversity.
