Little ID help

Just a while ago I found a white worm looking creature in my Chaetomorpha. The end of the worm thing had something sticking out of it that looked like a feather duster. When I moved the cheato to get a better look the feather part sucked back into it...any idea what this is?

Most likely a feather duster, harmless and beneficial. I have them all over the tank.
