Could be some sort of tube worm. But without a picture it is hard to guess. Regardless I wouldn't worry about it too much, it is the nature of a reef tank for all sorts of critters showing up and finding a place to call home.

From this site posted earlier today: Hitchhikers

"This is probably yet another tube-dwelling polychaete from the Family Spirorbidae. It is yet another harmless filter-feeder that is common in reef aquaria. It is common for these worms to inhabit areas of high water flow, including your tank's plumbing. They readily reproduce via sexual means and often spread throughout the tank, and can generally be considered a sign of a healthy maturing tank."
