No. They're harmless commensals.

They're acoel flatworms and they're common on lots of corals. They don't seem to do any harm. A google search for Waminoa should turn up lots of pics on other corals like mushrooms and bubble corals. I wouldn't trust that Waminoa is actually the name of these worms though, since the taxonomy of this group is a mess.
