This morning I woke up and saw these little guys popping up on my rocks. I am trying to ID what they are. I am hoping they are little feather dusters and not snails. Can anyone give me a positive ID please.

Hard to tell but if there are feathery bits versus slime there feather dusters. They do not look like vermetids just because the shells are white. Vermetids are typically a tan color.

spirobids are reef safe and easily removed if needed . A little feather will come out for feeding
