Can you identify this worm from Christmas tree rock?

Thanks?
 
Sorry, my fault: ID this feather duster by Latin, or scientific name :p
Operculum shape is visible on the photo.

Leslie, would you know, by any chance?
 
Family Serpulidae, possibly genus Hydroides - that two-tiered operculum cone is typical for the genus. I'd need a much better shot of the operculum & knowledge of where the rock came from in order to try to do a species id.
 
Thank you very much, Leslie - it' good enough for me.
Of course, I'' try to catch photographer with better camera - for a better picture, but can take days.
