Question Unknown animal, ID help please

I thought it was a different kind of hair algae, just really sparse and long. It moves with the current but definetly has its own movements like curling the ends of the tentacles. During a feeding of mysis one day, the tentacles latched on to a shrimp and brought it close to the base of where all the tentacles come from. At that point I realized this is not hair algae. One day it moved to another spot. Now there is three of them that I can see. I have never seen a polyp just the tentacles. I can't find any information on anything like these. Does apitasia have different types of species that could resemble something like this? I need some info so I can figure out what my next step would be. Any info would greatly be appreciated. I will try to get some better pics

Hard to tell from the pic, but it looks like spaghetti worms. Look it up on google on somewhere, and if it is speghetti worms, they are harmless, but can irriatate corals by touching them.
