The good Dr. is on vacation and you will probably have better luck with Bill Rudman on this one, so try here!

here is a quote from what Dr. Ron said it is.

"Your "worm" appears to be the proboscis of a sipunculan or peanut worm"

cheers,

Using green mariners advice this is what bill rudman told me.
Dear Ryan,
Yes I missed it! It is a sacoglossan sea slug probably Thuridilla gracilis or T. bayeri [http://www.seaslugforum.net/thurgrac.htm]
Like all sacoglossans its a herbivore and I guess its found something on your live rock to eat. With luck, the algae its eating will stay alive in your
tank to provide a fod supply for the slug.
best wishes
