Ok so there is a white worm like looking thing, with a very long brown tentacle coming out of my brain, its pretty long. There were 3 of them then 2 of them disapeered.

Good bad? What is it, Sorry for the crappy pic, but i have a crappy Cam

now i heard feeder tentacles are short on brains but this was almost 2 inches long
 
If they are not feeders then it may be a Spiniod worm of some sort.Keep and eye on it and see if there is any build up as that would make it a worm.
Should not be a problem.
 
Ive seen my brains put out some super long stingers before. A good two inches! Looks just like the feeders but mighty long...Its probably a stinger, so make sure your other corals stay away!

They are called sweeper tentacles. The LPS coral will use them if they feel they are being encroahed upon.
