How many Vermatid snails do you guys see?

I think I count 3? Two look alike and one looks different. What do you guys think? This is a new coral I bought from my LFS. I am thinking about trying the superglue method but wanted to make sure I ID everything before I disturb the coral again.

I wouldn't mess with the Super Glue, just take a pair of cutters/dikes to them. Cut into hard shell a few times and try to grab out the worm-like snail inside. If you accidentally cut into a zoa it will heal quickly and more easily than being covered in glue. Plus look much cleaner. My Leopard Wrasse LOVES IT! when I go in for Vermetid Snail cleansing.
