Tube worm on hammer coral

[Aedanmor]

Hello. It looks like we got a trio of tubeworms growing on the branches of our hammer. Is this bad for the coral? Should we remove them or leave them be because they’re not really a problem? See the picture for reference.

I have a couple on my hammer as well. I leave them alone. Only do something if they're bothering them. If they car you can either scrape them off or superglue off the end of the tube to starve them out
