I have identified this species for you in the past like many others but you keep spotting the same species and post them us unknown …? What’s your problem? Too lazy to roll thought your spottings and find it? http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/401...

Most likely Tube Worm, family of Serpulidae.
Under the same family is also the Christmas Tree Worms.
Tube Worms can be differentiated from Feather Duster Worms (family of Sabellidae) with a specialized operculum that blocks the entrance when they withdrew into the tubes.

Do you have any info you can share with us in the description or habitat sections about this creature? Could make identifying it easier!
