Default Devil's Hand Parasite? What is this?

Hey all,
I've tried to do a little research today, but haven't come up with anything yet. I bought a devil's hand and now last night I noticed on one of the "fingers" something moving around just under the suface of the coral. (It kind of reminds me of those black beetles crawling under the guys skin in "The Mummy", only moving much slower). Whatever is under there is releasing a few 3 to 4" long silk-like threads - maybe trying to eat? I have a pick of the bump on the nearest finger.

Does anyone have an idea what this is? Is it just part of the coral or some kind of parasite? What to do? Thanks.
