Are these parasites or my hammer and frogspawn splitting?

Idk what this is on my euphylia coral. Is it a parasite or the coral splitting? You can see it between the green hammer and the frogspawn.

Possibly vermetid snails?

They never move. You think its still a snail?

Vermetid create hard tubes and filter feed. They don't move around.

Vermetid Snails, confirming

I want to be sure, as I just noticed a bunch of these tiny tubes. Vermetid Snails I'm assuming. You can see they are very small compared to the blenny's head. Haven't see any mucus yet.

You could pull the coral out to inspect more. If it is you could crush it or glue the top. That'll get rid of it.
