Will it hurt my corals? Should I get rid of it?

Yeah, bristleworm - they're not the prettiest, and they do have bristles that you want to avoid getting poked by, but they're actually good clean up crew (harmless/beneficial) for a reef tank.

Many regard them as cleanup crew as they eat uneaten food and detritus but they are Not welcomed in my tanks. They are capable of multiplying and centipede sums it up.
