I just got some new zoanthids from my lfs and I got them home and saw a small pink thing with kind of clear white strings coming out of it can't really get a pic of it.
 
Tube worm/ spiraloid worm. Harmless filter feeders but if you see an explosion in their population its usually a sign of excess nutrients.
 
Best I could get.

They say they can irritate corals a little if there are loads if them around them, I have loads in my palythoas and they do no harm.
They just feed on left over waste and detritus ;)
