I've gotten rid of the frag but now I've seen it in 5 different places . i removed it when I could and covered the other ones with super glue
 
Looks like a vermatid snail. Very annoying pest as they can multiply quickly depending on available nutrients and will irritate corals with the silky strands that they cast out when feeding. Kill it by crushing the base of the tube.
