    What is your coral on that has stamped numbers. Sounds like it could be a bristleworm, a member of the clean up crew.

    Everyone to his or her own taste. Personally I regard worms as the apex of evolution. ;D

    From the picture it does not look like a bristle worm to me.
    Have you noticed and negative changes with your corals? If not I would just leave it.
    Or if you don't want it just try doing dips.
