Poop or pest?

[MrsPewterschmidt]

There’s something strange on my Zoa’s. No not the spirobids those buggers exploded on my coral frag 2 weeks ago, so I stopped with the reef roids and hope they’ll die down soon. There’s like a weird red spirally poop looking thing on there and I can’t figure out what the heck it is. Any thought? Video attached I hope ‍

Possibly a vermetid snail:

It looks like it may be vermetid snails - they're generally considered pests, as they reportedly sometimes irritate corals. However, it likely depends on the coral and the vermetid species, as some people have pics of their corals growing over the vermetids and doing just fine.

Oh my gosh yes! TY. Just looked up pics and it is spot on. No wonder my poor zoa’s are irritated. Removing that bugger now. Thx for the help
