Went window shopping for some live rock for my new tank today. Saw a couple pieces covered in some critters. I know that the worms are harmless bristle worms, but what are those little tube things? They are all over the live rock in that one tank too so I assumed they spread like crazy.

Vermedit Snail maybe?

Thoughts?

I would pass just because it’s covered in Cyanobacteria it’s not something you want to be dealing in a new tank.
