Tube worm? On hammer coral

[Newreef]

Well I have what I believe is a tube worm on my large hammer. From what I have read, if it harms the coral then cut the tube worm off at the base. Any opinions on what this is and what to do with it? Leave it? Or pull my coral out and cut it off? Bad picture but it's the best I can do.

Tube worm/feather duster worms are generally very harmless and reef-safe. I have literally hundreds in my Dendro/RBTA cube tank and they help keep the water clean when I feed Reefroids and Cyclopeeze to my Non-Photosynthetic corals.

You have lots of those in your aquarium. One less will not make a difference.
Leave the rock in the aquarium and just break the worm off at the base with a pair of tweezers or a spoon or a ?

Uploaded 2 more pics. It's on a branch of the hammer and from what I can tell it is not in any way harming my hammer. So it sounds like just leave it and don't worry about it unless I see my hammer acting strange?
