Still going through the new tank woes of all the wanted or unwanted animals.

These clear tube guys. Say it ain't so. I think they are vermetid snails but I just want to double check since I can't actually tell and I also want to have hope that I won't need super glue and pliers on day 2. Also an ID for that green guy on the bottom would help me out. I think he is a lightbulb anemone. Thanks for any help!

There are sponges and a likely pest anemone, but until you can get us a image to make that pronouncement it's speculation. We need a better image, end of story. 🦀

How do I get a better image? It’s rather difficult to take pictures in the rocks like that. I want to know if there’s any easy way to take photos of hard to reach crevices.

Looks like a pest anemone. Where there is one there are likely more.
Compare what you see with images of aiptasia and or majano. There is a wide variation in the appearance of pest anemone.
I would start considering your course of action.

Hopefully I am absolutely wrong.
