Looks like little bristle worms. Harmless to the reef, beneficial to the sand bed. I suppose some fish eat them but mine seem to survive just fine to grow as long as 6 inches. Don't freak--only 2 or 3 grow that long, so I don't have a tank full of 6" bristle worms.

If that's what these are, they're a good thing.
