Bristle worms can be found in any cracks and holes. Usually they don’t bother any livestock buy may feast on dead or dying animals.
if you can post a pic of the coral it will help me estimate its condition and recommend you what can be done.

Ok heres some pics
You can see theres not much left at all on the right, but the left side has a good bunch. Usually as the day goes on the right side does come out a bit more, but its still very stringy and pitifull looking.  And the worm in question. Its pretty red, could it possibly be a fireworm? (its in the center)

not a fireworm. The one you have is red and dark brown as well.
Just an ordinary bristleworm IMO Beneficial when small. I would leave it. You have lots more you cannot see. Look into the tank at night with a flashlight with red cellophane over the lens. Be surprised at what you see.

Do you implement low nutrients regime in your tanks? Do you add some carbon source like v.s.v? What kind of light source do you use?
I wouldn’t be worried too much of the warm but the coral looks little low on the zooxantelas

I don't really know what low nutrient regimes are, I'm still pretty new at this! I feed my corals about 2 times a week. I don't use carbon but I use Purigen and chemi-pure elite. I use t-5 lighting, 4x 54watts and its a 40gal tank. Are you saying that it looks low because of the colour? It is actually much more green and pink in person, my camera is bad for picking up colours. Or is it the coral in general?
One of the other heads was damaged on the one side as well but that one is healing up nicely. I think this one might be a goner though Thanks!
