Might also be colonial hydroids, though it is somewhat hard to tell from the image. Vermetid snails (worm snails) have a curled base. Colonial hydroids do not.

How to get rid of it?

Removing vermetid snails​

Glue: Superglue the tube shut and the snail will be unable to feed, eventually dying. The downside? If you kill a lot of vermetid snails at the same time, a nutrient spike can seriously endanger your aquarium’s health.
Hydrochloric acid: The there’s-no-way-back option. We don’t have space here to explain how to do this, but it’s not something to take lightly, as it will kill everything else on the affected piece of rock or décor.
Manual removal: The usual tools of the trade are bone cutters (if the snail is accessible) or an ice pick (if it’s wedged into a crevice). Remove the affected rock or coral from the tank and make sure you get the base of the tube, as that’s where the actual snail is holed up.

As for colonial hydroids:

Yea. Those aren’t good. I’ve had them. I’ve had pretty good sucess just putting putty on them though.
They are filter feeders , and I feed NPS and bivalves. But still managed to contain them.

I crush them some people superglue them. Some fish eat them “wrasse” I have tried bumble bee snails as well. Do an online search there’s a few ways to deal with them.
