Default White tube like........

I was readjusting my light timer last night and noticed something under one of my live rocks that is white and tubular, it doesnt like lights so it seems cause when I was looking at the copepods with a flashlight it vanished quickly. Its white/cream colored and tubular like I mentioned and exposes about an inch of itself. Id get a picture but Im sure using a flash isnt suggested. Any help or reference media would be great THANKS!

Ahhh yes the peanut worm. They really are kinda neat. They can elongate themselves.
