Looks like a common bristle worm. These detritivores are common in marine aquariums and are part of a healthy ecosystem. Try not to touch them as their bristles will painfully break off in your skin.
What do you mean by Acropora de- polp?

I had 2 Acropora frags and in one day all the color and polps left the skeleton structure (turned all white)
