Those are not colonial tube worms but actually are colonial hydroids. They sting corals so you should get rid of them ASAP before they spread. IMO putting some 2 part epoxy over them is the easiest way to do it.

No problem. I'm sure some others will chime in with other removal methods.

If you have a lot you can try some joe's juice or kalkwasser or aptasia x.
