Looks like a common bristle worm. They are a good part of your clean up crew.
I would keep it unless it's actually causing your tank any sort of problems.

Some things to look for when identifying GOOD bristle worms:

Evenly spaced bristle tufts along the sides of the worm.

Brightly hued white bristles.

Can have a colorful body or have a dull gray hue.
