Worm invasion

I got a lot of little fan looking worms sprouting all over my tank in the colonies of some of my corals. should i be concerned and is there anything that eats these things?

If they are feather dusters, not a problem. If it's aptasia, that's a problem.

Do you have a picture or could you google feather dusters and aptasia and see if your "worms" look like either of these two?
 
If it's a mini duster it looks like a big one just smaller. If it's a apitasia it looks more like a baby anemone. Apitasia is bad it will quickly spread all over your tank. Peppermint shrimp and butterflies eat these or you can inject them
