I’m wondering if this might be a bristle Star? If not, what is it?

Can’t see movie. Try some pics.
This is the best I could do with a photo...
There are three wormlike things that retract simult

Is it likely that there would be 3 or more peanut worms? It almost looks like thin earthworms that retract in when light is shined on them.

Ya there can be dozens or hundreds of peanut worms in the rock if it was live rock. they are good and just eat leftover food and stuff and clean your rock

google Micro brittle star, that's what I circled in your video frame
