Wow, that's a first for me....looks like a white (yellowish) bristle worm. Maybe @Lionfish Lair might know.
Is there such a thing as an albino bristle worm? Does it have pink eyes?

I just searched "yellow saltwater worm" and this showed up with THIS link to wetwebmedia as a Bristle/Fireworms (Errantiate Polychaete).

It's definitely an O. fulgida Red, the face is pretty distinguishable.
Sorry, I didn't type more earlier... that was sending my autocorrect crazy and kept changing it. LOL. I'm now on a PC. Yes, you'll want to get rid of it if you like clams and snails... probably some other things too, as it's a carnivorous hunter.
