Something on my candy cane coral frag.

Looks like a feather duster to me.
Does anybody else think those might be vermetid snails on the right side of the last picture?

Thanks for the attention to detail. Not sure what vermetid snails are... Here is a close up.

Those look like more feather dusters. Feather duster tubes will be white, in most cases, and vermetids will be brown. I get a little paranoid looking at candy canes because that's what my vermetids hitch hiked in on and I missed them until it was too late.
 
Just another update to my feather duster hitchhiker thread... They have multiplied like crazy into my refugium, must have 40 or so of them in there.
