The pic is pretty blurry, and the video is washed out by all the orange, a clear or white background would be best. It appears to be a bristle worm or a eunice worm but I cannot be sure with all the orange.
 
I am very sorry, no way to know the id without head. I don't believe it is a eunicid sp. Higher chance of being a dorvilleidae sp.
 
Hard to see on my phone screen but its either a POLYCHAETE or DORVILLIDAE worm
 
Does it look like this?

Not really but it is so small it is hard to tell. Body is white and head is brownish reddish. It is a little smaller around than a toothpick

Where'd you take that photograph? It looks like the worm is in Hell
Haha. I put it in an orange measure cup. It’s what I use for measuring my salt. It was the only thing I had handy.
 
Here is another pic to see he size of it in a one cup measuring cup. I threw it out already. Guess I should of kept it longer and put in a different cup. I have something messing with my sps corals. Eating, laying eggs ? I have lost 3 already and two more shows same signs right before dying. I don’t know if this has something to do with it. I added pods 2 days ago and forgot to take out my mesh filter socks and was dumping pods out of sock into container to save the pods and then found this.

Corals start with white spots like this picture and within a few days is completely white and dead.
