Vermetid snails

So I just got some corals a few days ago I there are two vermetid snails on the base of my candcane coral. What should I do?

Cover them up with a glob of glue. Hopefully you get them before they spread. If you start getting more I would suggest some bumble bee snails. They help with keeping them in check

Does the super glue have to be gell? Because I heard some horor stories about using the no gell stuff.

Do they harm the coral when they attach to them?

From my knowledge the main concern is that they make a mucus web that irritates the coral.

The only way to truly rid of them is to break their tube with pliers or cut it off at base with bone cutters and discard

Do bumble bee snails really work?
