Richordea parasite or new head?

[CommanderInReef]

I got this richordea about a week ago and i noticed this branchy thing extending from it. When i first put it in the branchy part would excrete stringy things sometimes. At night when the richordea does it's normal deflating inflating process over and over again you can see it showing a lot more. However i noticed tonight there is what seems to be wet black bubble things growing. if anything they'd look most like dark inflated richordea polyps. is this a parasitic egg or new richordea head growing. And also what is this branchy looking thing as well? I'd appreciate all the input thanks!

the branchy thing looks like a vermitid snail to me. and also looks like there's bubble algae. take the frag out and scrape off the vermitid and the bubble algae or they'll spread and become a major nuisance. that's no bueno.
