Turbo Snails and small coral

[Abdickerson89]

Hi all I’m new to having a salt water tank. I recently bought some coral but I’m not sure if my turbo snail is destroying or helping. When I first put them in they started started to grow out, but since the snail has intervened, they don’t seem to want to sprout. Please help, should I just get rid of him? Coral is not cheap! Video of the little culprit on my coral

Looks like there is green hair algae on/around the frag plug and he is eating it. Turbo snails are beasts at eating green hair algae. He shouldnt harm the coral. They might just close up while he is eating around it. The algae itself could eventually disturb the coral anyways so it's good hes removing it.
