Pics fuzzy but may be nudibranch- remove it or dip to remove it as a precaution
Also keep hammer off the sandbed as sand can and May irritate them

There is some kind of worm or white stuff that comes out at night and it’s all under the head

I don't see any pest but the tissue is dying and breaking apart. White stringy things sound like mesenterial filaments from inside the coral, which is what I think you are seeing around the inside of the mouth that's partially gaping.

Tank looks pretty new. Can you post your water parameters and light level? How long have you had it?

2 clownfish
2 hermit crabs
1 nassarius snail
1 branching hammer coral
It has been established for about 9 weeks
