I'm pretty sure the light brown coloured tubes are the stalks of goose
barnacles, particularly as there is still one goose barnacle attached.
There is also what looks like a small white calcareous tube within the
mass that maybe that of a serpulid polychaete although I would trust
someone else's judgement on that!
Kind regards
Jackie
