Good day,
I suggest these are built by amphipods (e.g. Dulichia), the size seems 
to be similar. You may ask professor Alexander Tzetlin for additional 
information for instance his group described similar rods from the White 
Sea.

The visible tube lengths would be about 150 mm. No tentacles to be seen. I was thinking Polychaeta, perhaps a large chaetopterid.  Other suggestions welcome.
