Peacock Worm - Sabella pavonina
At first sight these little animals look like plants, but they are in fact worms.
The worm lives inside the tube formed from mud, sand particles and mucus. Protruding tentacles extend outwards and filter feed on passing particles. When disturbed the tentacles quickly retract into the tube.
