OK so here are a couple pics.
if you look you can see the thin strands from it.
they can reach at least 14"!!!!!

I have the exact same things in my tank but I cant help you on identifying them. Mine just seem to come out of nowhere (the face of a live rock) I thought it was a thread so I pulled it off(came off after a bit of tugging) but 4 days later it was back.

I still say spaghetti worms, there are different types and the tentacles can reach 4ft long. There are some pics half way down this page

I'll agree I have some with like foot long ones they will catch some food on just roll it in

spaghetti worms, good scavenger.

would those tentacle thingies bother corals though?

Mat, I have these "threads" in my tank as well. Mine are kind of a dark yellow color and come out from the rocks.

It's like a loose spool of thread that's just in your tank for whatever reason, right?

I think corals are more agressive then the worm, at any rate that is why we use chemical filtration (carbon, and other absorbents)
