Help with worm ID, please

The tentacles stretch out about 2 inches and form a mass about an inch
across. I can't see any body because it's right at the base of some rock
that has another overhanging it. Nothing new has been added to the tank in
over a month.

Trying to fashion some kind of hook to grab this thing and yank it out.

Just did a google on tube anemone. That's exactly what the tentacles look
like. Thanks Boomer for the info. Gotta get rid of it.

Why don't you just take the rock out and put it in fresh water for a while?
That should kill it...

The rock is at the bottom of the pile (of course) so I'd have to disassemble
the whole tank. We shot it with a good dose of Joe's Juice. Hoping it's an
Aiptasia species so Joe's Juice takes care of it., also hoping there is no
more lurking around the tank.

Thanks for everyone's help.
