what is this

[blenny1]

I'm getting these little white tubes, about the size of a match stick, and a little fan comes out of them. Like a mini feather duster. are these ok? I have about ten on my live rock.

That's kind of what they are,tube worms, filter feeders, good to have, not to worry. There probably will be a lot more in the future.
