I just discovered these little red worms burrowed into some of my rock. They are about 1 inch long and they have little tips that stick out to the side and every once in a while they slide out of the rock and go right back in. They are right underneath the star polyps, and it looks like they have been breeding because I see like 10 or more in this hole in the live rock. What fish can I get to eat these specific kinds of worms?

I tried to get a picture of them; you can sort of see them in there a little bit. Sorry, my camera cant zoom that well.

Looks like run of the mill bristle worms. They're good guys to have. They're scavengers and detrivours which clean up any left over food or dead snails etc that would otherwise pollute your tank.
 
Yes, bristleworms. The reason you only see little portions of them are because they are nocturnal.
