feather duster cobwebs?

I have what looks like a feather duster "shell" but no feather duster sightings, but what it does do is barf out cobwebs on a daily baisis.

Is this a feather duster and or what is it doing?

I can't remember the names of them off hand, they are a type of worm and are generally safe in a reef aquarium. They have been known to be a nuisance to zoa's and cause them not to open up. Be careful, those tubes are sharp.
