Parasite?

I got this Pavona about a week ago and tonight as I was looking at it I saw this small insect like thingy - black with long antennae. Is this a parasite? If so, how do I get rid of it?

Yes, I saw it go in and out of one of the "holes" on the coral.

I haven't observed it moving around, just inside and out - if I were to guess, I think it moves kinda fast.
