Can anyone Identify this?

There is some type of Filter Feeder in my tank that has recently been coming out of the live rock. It has 3 or 4 Feather like tendrals approimately 10 inches in lenth, but it isn't a Feather Duster. The base from which these tnedrals come from looks like a raised white glob. I do not think this is harmfull, and when I put zooplankton in the tank it goes absolutley nuts, exnteding the tendrals in all directions.

Thank you. That is most likely what it is.
