Just some kind of tubeworm/featherduster (probably Sabellidae). Not likely to find a species ID. Good hitcher and a pretty one at that. They won't care about light, but are filter feeders that will catch leftovers. No special care is usually required.

you really shouldn't drop things into the ocean once they're in your tank, sometimes it can mess with the ecosystem if those animals are not from that area. just for future reference.

Yeah. cocos are pretty demanding feeders, and really don't belong in most tanks. you are lucky to be so close to real reefs.
