My guess is a sponge. Does it move....have eyes....have an opening?

If it moves, I'm leaning towards a nudibranch.
 
Ok peeps. My husbands 60 gallon he had put some zoas in it..he doesnt really move stuff or do anything like that. But one day we saw his feather duster come out and never saw him again. Then we noticed this growing over his zoas..could this be the worm making his tube. See the line thats encrusting the zoas? Any ideas?20170613_102152.jpg
 
I found this right now in my snail is good or bad? I had a sand shifter star and I don't find it in my display tank and I love this snail from it to the nano tank ?

That's an asterina star fish. Some say they are harmless while other, including myself, have had issues with them irritating Zoas.

I would guess its algae. You can try scrubbing (very carefully near the flesh) it with an old toothbrush to get rid of it.
