Super gross worm in live rock. Friend or foe?

I am so grossed out right now, I need a little composure....

Ok, new 75g saltwater tank, cycling a little over a month. We're fighting flukes right now so the water has been a little cloudy. I came home and checked the ph levels (have been low) after a water change last night and another treatment of PraziPro, when movement caught my eye. I found THIS creeping out of the live rock. Here's a still pic of it's fuzzy mouth. About 1.5 inches has come out of the rock, feeling around. If this is safe for the tank (and people safe!) it can stay where it's at and hopefully I'll never have to see it again. If it's a bad'un, please let me know and I will burn this rock post haste.

Also, hi, I'm new here :)

Edit: After diligently searching, I think this may be a peanut worm. Confirmation?
