Does this look weird I’m not sure if it’s something odd. The Zo is a little closed as you can see but I have a red arrow to what I’m asking about

Vermetid snail. These are sessile snails that build tube-like shells. In reef aquaria, they are often seen as pests as they can spread rapidly and produce mucus nets that can irritate corals. You can try to glue them shut or crush the base of the shell (not the end of the tube) with tweezers.

Looks like tube worm or vermetid snail which emits a fan to capture food. Break off at bottom base and discard OR place a dab of gel super glue over the top and it will starve
 
I see spiral red base at tube so I would say vermitted snail which sends out mucus net to capture food then draws it in to eat what it captured ,also how they reproduce by one snail sending out equivalent to sperm and another snail captures it in its net and draws it in and fertilises it ^_^
