Mount Vesuvius

[Foxonthesly]

Hello all, recently purchased this coral on sale at Petco for $18, and after a couple of weeks in my tank I noticed this growth on it.

Looks like a mini red volcano! Any ID, help, or advice is appreciated.

Can you get some pics of it under white light? Blue light washes out a lot of detail for ID's.

Pic is too blurry to really tell what it is but your description sounds like a vermetid snail... Do an image search and see if yours looks like a vermetid.

Does it send out a slimy tendril that traps dusty looking specs? If so, it’s a vermitid.
