worm anyone know?

Tonight i was looking at my sun coral coloney and i noticed a long bright yellow looking brisstle worm of some sort. Was not red like the fire worm but was wondering if it was bad? It is about 3" long from what i saw and was bright bright yellow exactly the same yellow as my suns. What should i do? Any idea of this is good or bad? Help please!
