I have in my tank a small black "item" who has two "heads" and white tentacles that open rarely maybe twice a week that I see. It's attached to some live rock under some red algae tree, it's kind of exotic looking but only black body with white tentacles, you cannot see the white when it's closed, you can hardly see it at all when it's closed. Help Id please. I'm putting some phone pics and then uploading some camera pics in a minute.

here's a better pic, where I kinda cropped and focused at the item I'm talking about, one of the tentacles is right at the tip of the damsels top fin and the rest are in a circle the dominos fin being at 8 o'clock, I also noticed possibly some orange coloration with the white but very small may just back ground stuff, If any of that helps.

 
I have id'd the mystery creature. It is a burrowing sea cucumber. I have about three of them on a live rock.
Neothyonidium magnum
