    Are these vermetid snails? And snail eggs?

    I've noticed just yesterday these black spiral things in a few of our coral frags that seemed to appear overnight, could someone identify them please? I am thinking they may be vermetid snails but really hoping not! Second question, found these on the glass this morning, are they snail eggs?

    Vermetids or branching coralline algae?

    I’m looking to buy some snails, the seller has these listed but I’m trying to figure out if this is a thin branching coralline or vermetid snails covered in coralline.

    What to do with old/pest ridden rock?

    First time poster, going to try to be more active as I'm working on getting more involved in the hobby. I was given a tank that has probably 20lbs of live rock in it, infested with vermetid snails and asterina starfish. Previous owners just kind of let whatever grow grow. Has a bunch of brown...

    Aiptasia-X or Aiptasia Rx or Kalkwasser control and/or kill Vermetid snails

    As the title implies... Will Aiptasia-X or AiptasiaRx or Kalkwasser control and/or kill Vermetid snails? I thought if I could inject something into the Vermetid snail tube... it could kill it, then I thought how about the Aiptasia products that work so well killing Aiptasia (and creating 1000s...

    Is this vermetid snail or… what? (I’m new)

    Hello! I’m pretty new in the hobby! Today I just noticed this kind of red worm on my euphyllia glabrescens… Is it vermetid snail? If not what could it be, the bottom seems attached to the body of the coral. Thanks for your time!

    Do turbo snails eat vermetid snails?

    Hi, So I had a severe vermetid snail outbreak. The vermetid snails where everywhere, so I removed them by taking out every single rock and crushing the vermetids. I probably crushed more than 100 of them (the outbreak was bad). Fast forward a couple of weeks and I notice them appearing again...

    Vermetid?

    Can anyone help ID whether this is a vermetid snail or some other sort of tube worm? It looks like it's growing out from the skeleton of my acan.

    Is this a Vermetid snail?

    Hi guys, I noticed this little thing growing on the side of my cane cane coral frag. At first I hoped it was a new head, but after doing some research I think that it might be a Vermetid snail. However, while it has the same general shape of one, it does not seem to have the hard, tube-like...

    Vermetid in Marine Pure from LFS

    So... I just noticed this marine pure block covered in vermetid snails. See photo below. I pulled it out of my sump and plan on drying it out to kill them all. Thank god I have another block. Only 2 new juvi clowns and a minor CUC in my tank - So hopefully the bioload is still manageable. This...
