Don't have a clue. I have never seen anything like that before. Hopefully someone will know exactly what it is.

Good luck.

ok, i just posted about this but i have questions. do they hide under the sand? or are they holding on to the rock?

if they are making tubes from sand particles they could be spaghetti worms
but if they have a stalk or a base holding on to a rock or a solid surface and having a crown from where the tentacles rise from they could be a type of anemone.

i do belive they are anemones but just my opinion
