Monti with vermitids growing underneath

[Pennywise the Clown]

I have noticed that my monti has 3 vermitid snails growing on its underside. They don't seem to be bothering it but I don't want them to spread.
The monti has encrusted on the rock which cam be seen in the photo. Would it be possible to remove it without damaging it?

If you can use a thin edge tool you can poke at the very bottom to remove or if the coral or rock can be removed then you can do it outside of your tank rather than inside your tank.

I just removed a large branch from my tank yesterday and removed about 200 little booger’s. Lucky I let the branch just lean than anchor it down. I should have taken photos of the branch I did photo my shrooms with them on it.

Thank you. The snails are actually hidden in the shadow just to the left of where the monti is encrusting at the front. It will be very difficult to get at them unless I pull it out.
I'm not sure if what will happen to the encrusting part. I don't want to break the coral.

I understand. You may also try to use frag glue on them them will spread. Even worse when dosing calcium

Yes, agreed ..You can cover up with frag glue.
I also have some long tweezers that I have have been pretty successful with removing them at base without damaging

I have a lot to but I just busted them off
