Help something on Candycane Coral

[Herman]

Hey everyone. Ive noticed two reddish “growths” “hitchhiker” “worm” idont know on my Candycane.
New to the hobby and loving it.
Sorry for the bad quality of the photo, will try again later.
It may not even be anything, its just wird that theres this red thing at the bottom of the stalk.

First and foremost, welcome to R2R!
Please make a post in our meet and greet forum and introduce yourself.

How new is your tank? Do you have any other corals, and how long have you had the candy cane?

Vermetid snail perhaps?

It looks like the beginning of one to me!

Ok. So it looks like Vermetid. I think! They seem to be ok for tanks, or should I get rid of it!

Thanks for the welcome!

Tank is about 8-9 weeks old. I have 2 clowns, 1 small rainbow Paly colony, and a small Constellation Paly colony. And a small piece of fields of freen Leptoseris.

They are filter feeder. They throw out a web and pull it in with any food. The web can be irritating to some corals.
