I think I have the same thing in a Porites/Christmas tree worm rock in my tank. I assume it's some kind of worm. All I see of it is a thread like appendage that pokes around really fast outside the hole and dust getting kicked up. It definitely damages the Porites where it pokes around, but doesn't seem to be causing any widespread infection. If it does start to cause problems, the syringe and kalk paste flamethrower is loaded and primed.
