One possible is that something is disturbing it. Do you keep wrasse as well? Some of the wrasses are prone to eat tube worms/feather fusters. Or check out for crabs. You water parameter cold be another factor. As they might be thinking of migrating somewhere else.

sometimes they jump out when they retract too violently. beats me. I hope nothing eats yours. One of mine jumped out of its tube once, straight into a tube anemone. The anemone took a long time eating it.

There could be multiple reasons, just monitor them closely.
