looking at those pictures id say its a bristle worm,
are they bad for the tank? should i try and remove it?

If it's a bristle worm, they are just fine if not beneficial to your tank. They eat poop.

If you get a big sucker (I say 3" +) I usually take those ones out just because they are so big and gnarly. But wee ones will be just fine... But don't touch them with your bare hands... you'll do it once and never forget it...fiberglass like splinters in your finger. I recommend duct tape for removal!!

EDIT: And for confirmation, always best to post a picture for any sort of I.D. Try to snap one so we can take a look-see.

I wouldn't worry about him. Not only is trying to remove them a complete pain in the ass, it is also not worth the effort in most cases.
