Yet another strange creature.

[gozetec02]

Last night I woke up at around 2 am. I went to check on the tank to see if I could spot any bristleworms or PODS. I switched on the light to surprise any nocturnal animals. I saw lots of pods walking around on the sand an the hermit crabs were out in force doing their job. A while back i noticed some plants growing from the LR they have a stem and at the top they have tentacles and are green/brown in color. Well last night a hermit crab touched one of these "plants" and when this happened it withdrew into the hole it was growing out of.

What is this strange creature and how do I get more or how do i get it to reproduce? I have only seen 2 but i know that 1 of them was there for a long time.

It sounds like a feather duster. It is type of fan worm.
