Hitchhiker ID, Some sort of tube worm?

TheORKINMan · 02/27/2008, 12:24 PM

Got some new LR, today on an empty shell on the sand a purple tube appeared with something in it that bobs up and down. It LOOKS sort of like a feather duster tube but whatever it's doing it definately does not have the feathers. Any clues out there? Ill try to get a pic later but if anyone has any ideas of what it might be I'd appreciate it.
