Or it also could be stress.
Place him on the sandbed. Feather dusters like to burrow their tube into the sand, or crushed coral whatever you have.

It appears that the worm has aborted its tube. The left tube is empty -- the right is the rest of the worms body. It's definitely a sign that something isn't right -- extremely poor water quality, high amounts of stress, and too much current could all cause this to happen. I believe it is most likely poor water quality and stress which cuased this to happen. Putting it in the sand would be a good idea.
By the way, can you give us a list of your water quality? Don't say perfect; please tell us what everything is. I want to know Ammonia, Nitrite, Nitrate, pH, temperature, and salinity.
