Should I be concerned

Not really, I hate them purely because I've had a learning curve with using gloves when rearranging aquascapes. Those bristles are uncomfortable

Brisleworms eat detritus. Likely entered your tank in your rock. They are only an issue if you overfeed your tank, that will increase the population by a bunch. They won't harm your fish or corals.
..just don't TOUCH them. Those bristles hurt when they get stuck in your finger.
They can be pink or pink/gray. Nothing you need to be overly concerned about.

You can dump him in your sump and he can eat food that manages to get through to there.

Arrow crabs eat them and I can't remember what fish also eats them... but yeah they are ok.

That made me almost throw up. I HATE bristle worms but I leave them be cause I've never had a serious issue with them. That was a disturbing video. The worst is NO GLOVES!
