So I am seeing these things pop up on my snails in my display and on rock in my sump, What are they and are they safe?

Vermetid snails. They will release a mucous web to feed and it can irritate corals, but shouldn’t cause any major problems, at least not IME.

You can break them off with a pair of players or super glue gel over the opening. In some tanks they can explode in population, but for the most part they aren't really that bad, but as said the mucus web can irritate coral

Thanks! I'll monitor them be for now, and break out the super glue if they get out of control.
