i would assume it disappears if you move past it? if so, likely a worm (similar to feather duster).. I would say harmless... maybe others will chime in. i have them on various corals.
 
Its an aptasia or hydroid and either does sting coral. Keeping hand steady. . . . mix kalkwasser powderwith ro water and using a syringe, inject the solution into the center core of the aptasia and it will melt away with harm to your torch.
Im thinking hydroid

Hard to tell from pic but thinking aiptasia or hydroid. Either should be removed.
 
Yes yes,i think its a feather worm,its white color,look like this following picture,so should it remove him or ignore? will removing him damaged the torch mouth?
