Haven't seen one of these before

I'm admittedly pretty new to reefing, but I haven't seen one of these before.

I noticed it earlier in the week, and it hasn't really moved. It seemed to have two antennae that retracted when I shined a torch on it.

The hammer coral seems healthy, does anyone know what this is, or if I should be concerned?

Can you circle what youre looking at?

Sorry, I've cut the coral out of the photo. The coral is in the corner of the tank (next to a wall), so it's hard to get a decent photo. Can try to get a better one if needed.

Appears to be a vermetid.

 

[Saltyreef]

Agreed vermatid

+1 on appearing like a vermited.

Oh, right. I had looked them up, but (incorrectly) thought it didn't look like one. Thanks for the help.

Here's another photo. Just went and took it, so might as well upload it.



I think I can remove the coral relatively easy, so am tempted to take it out and glue it. Seems mean though.

Scrape it off and be done lol. No glue needed.

Liverock is no fun handling with thousands covering it.
Its like holding a cactus....

Scraped off easily. Thanks for the advice.
