The videos work for me, they just take a bit to load (large size, probably).

I don't have a species, but I think despite the antennae, it's likely still a standard species of bristle worm, the second one looks more like the classic bristle worm, but I don't think either is harmful.

Looks reminiscent of this https://www.reef2reef.com/threads/worm-id.631953/

Its a dorvillidae and a cousin to the bristleworm. Reef safe and eats uneaten food and detritus
