Is this a big vermetid snail??? I just noticed it in my Zoas. If it is I am getting the pliers after him.

Thanks!!!

vermatid worm- no good. The mucus that they release into the water causes irritation to corals like you're seeing with the zoas. You can crush the tip of the tube with tongs (which hasn't worked for me) or super glue the opening of the tube (which has worked for me)

Thanks! I glued him shut.
