Looking for some help identifying this thing. My tank has only 2 small clown fish and I got an anemone this weekend. It was on a piece of rubble. I cleaned the rubble around the nem with peroxide and then placed the while thing in my tank. That night the nem did what I expected and relocated itself.
On the rock now kissable because the nem moved is some type of little duster or something. It is red and if I shine a flash light at it, it ducks back into its Lil tube/hole. It's only a couple millimeters big when extended. Like 1 or 2 mill or less. Here is the best picture I could get.

Thanks
Really tough to say for sure from the video, but I do see what seems to be a circular feathery crown pulling back into a tube, so I would guess that's a feather duster worm.
, that's what I'm thinking it is as well. Bigger question i have now is whether it's a friend or foe?
