Vermetid snails?

[patlansky]

Are these red tube-shaped things vermetid snails? I first noticed one on a hammer coral that I bought. It feels hard. I removed that one, but now I see another one on a different rock.

Does anyone know what this could be?

If they look like this, yes

Does look like tubes from Vermetids. If clearly visible, you can break off tubes at bottom base and discard. At times, you may need needle nose pliers to accomplish this. Other options which I used was Bumble Bee snails which do a great job on these snails, but they do work slowly so I have a trio currently but no more vermetids in my tank. I have about 30 at one point

On the right side of the rhodactis there is some kind of black shell with a red tube. I’m pretty sure it looks like this. I’m planning to remove it manually, glueing on it and avoid overfeeding, especially since I’m also seeing an outbreak of spirorbid snails.

It is kind of hard to make out, but it is either a feather Duster worm, completely Reef safe and pretty cool too, or a vermetid
