No clue what these things are but i see one on my hammer and one on the bottom of my monticap. Theyre small hard tubes that coil so im guessing maybe theyre a type of tube worm? Though ive never seen them emerge from the end. They dont seem to be harmful cuz neither of my coral seem to be upset but some id would be greatly appreciated!

I can’t really tell from the pictures but your description makes me think it could be vermetid snails? They form harder, darker tubes and can send out webs that bother corals. You can scrape them off
