I got them in my 12 gallon nano my lps told me that they are OK They look like centipedes with a red head they mainly like to come out at night.

One has already crawled over my green star polyp it did not harm it at all.

I have one that is about 4 inches long, My crabs love to eat them.

I once watched one of my crabs chase one down (It was a slow race) but the crab won.

Well I got my live rock at my local pet store so when I noticed them (the worms) I went there to see if they new what they are, they did know that they are safe but they did not know there name.

Ya crabs tend to eat them, some fish and other things. you can try trapping them.
there are cups that you can buy from LFS and you put a peice of shrimp or something inside, and just wait for untill there is a worm in the cup and pull it out.
