Looks like a bristle worm. Most reefers, I think, value them as detritivores and they are harmless. However, some feel that too many are unsightly, etc. and would recommend that you carefully monitor their numbers and remove some (with care) if they become overwhelming.

Be careful to not touch with your bare hands. Use gloves or tweezers. They can irritate corals, if their numbers are high you can remove some.
