I’m looking to buy some snails, the seller has these listed but I’m trying to figure out if this is a thin branching coralline or vermetid snails covered in coralline.

These are from a very reputable seller and are in fact covered with coralline.I’m looking to buy some snails, the seller has these listed but I’m trying to figure out if this is a thin branching coralline or vermetid snails covered in coralline.
That was another thought of mine as well, I’m extremely confused because it looks like vermetids on first glance but the more I look at it the more I think it’s a thin branching variety of coralline.I vote branching coraline/other. The branches appear to have solid and white cross sections. A few of the branches of additional branches coming off near the top of the branch. I don't see a spiral at the base on any of the branches. For those reasons I vote coraline or other algae
Definitely a reputable seller, I just wanted to make sure as I had a horrible outbreak of vermetids in a previous tank.These are from a very reputable seller and are in fact covered with coralline.
The snails you receive likely won't have branches this pronounced, that's a stock photo of hers.That was another thought of mine as well, I’m extremely confused because it looks like vermetids on first glance but the more I look at it the more I think it’s a thin branching variety of coralline.

If I had read your original sentence carefully before replying I would have realized.I haven’t purchased the snails so I don’t have the ability to do this, otherwise I would break it off and look at the piece under a microscope.
