Without a better picture it's impossible to tell, but Xenia normally isn't that brown and normally doesn't have that much variation between the stalk and the hands (and if it does, the stalk is almost always lighter) If you have one that looks like that, it's because you bought it. One good way to tell for sure though, if the stalk is soft and bendable, it's a Xenia. But if it has any sort of structure to it, it's a duster.

Thanks for info. They came off when i was dipping my corals in revive.
I don't think they are feather dusters either I'm telling you zoom in on the tentacles unlike the peanut worm or get her duster whose tentacles are thin and many this worm's tentacles are thick and few like a Xenia or a palm tree coral

Sorry for the crumby picture but right below the pineapple sponge there looks to be some kind of anemone. Is this apstasia? It's not spread only been this one guy for the length of my tank must've hitchhiked in on a frag or something.

Looks like a Ball Tip Anemone/Pseudocorynactis , typically harmless.

I threw them away already. Don't wanna put the critter to my tank that I don't if they are reef safe or not. Also their black body part wiggle.
