Looks like a bristle worm. If it is, avoid touching it because they have fine glass rod like hairs that can get stuck in your skin and they are annoying, not poisonous but annoying.
 
Definitely a polychaete worm. I don’t believe it is a brittle worm, as those usually have longer setae (hairs), and arranged in tufts. But the advise of taken it out is good.
 
Agree on the bristle worms. Remove now if you don’t want a whole colony. They are a beneficial member of the CUC, but can get annoying if there’s too many.
