OK there is the thin (maybe 1 or 2 mm wide) blackish worm looking thing that is coming out of my sun polyps.. Its about 1 and half inches long and when it extends all the way alittle polyp looking thing extends from the end and picks around at the sand....

It sounds like a number of worm possibilities, and is most likely just mopping up detritus / food particles. If you go through the worm section of my hitch hiker pages, you may find what you have. Hope it is of use to you.

No. They're harmless.
