Looks like either a hair worm (Cirratulidae) or a spaghetti worm (Terebellide) to me - if the tentacles all come out from a single point, it’s a spaghetti worm; if they come out from basically all over the body it’s a hair worm.
I'm thinking a hair worm on this one, but, Spaghetti or Hair Worm, either way it's harmless/beneficial.
