Looks like a tiny long spike urchin to me, notorious for moving corals and eating coraline. Personal I like them but when they get big they are a PITA.

Black pencil urchin is what it looks like to me. Eucidaris tribuloides
Or try looking up. Echinometra sp.

It kind of looks like a rock boring urchin to me, but it's hard to tell in that light. Is it uniformly black in real life or does it have any colour to it?
