Did a bit of fragging and found this.....

Did a bit of fragging at the weekend and found these, are they anything to worry about?
Should I remove them? They don't seem to be bothering the coral.

Thanks

Vermitid snails. Mine don't bother anything but some say they bother certain corals more than others. Personally I wouldn't worry to much about it

I have a Ton of them on my frogspawn, they don't really cause any problems

Do they cause more problems on SPS, LPS, or soft corals?

I heard zoas don't like them but haven't experienced it myself my sps don't care

Personally I always get rid of vermetids. The net things they gob out irritate SPS and cause them to stay closed. Also they can be sharp and cut up your hands/tear your gloves when you remove rocks/frags.

Think I will pull the frags out tonight and remove them.
Thanks everyone for your help.

You can also super glue over their holes and that takes care of them

Here's a picture of one I did a week ago. Didn't like him on my Christmas tree rock worm so i glued him. It will eventually get taken over by the coral
