    It looks like the feeders of a spaghetti worm to me. I had one that lived in the rock and I'd only see the hair like feeders grabbing junk and hauling it back to the hole.

    That was my first thought as well, but all the other spaghetti worms I had were a really paleish white these are really dark yellow I have just never seen them in that color I guess.

    I had only ever seen red ones before, but apparently they come in lots of colors, including stripes LOL.
