Need an ID

[Kaljaxias]

So I bought a hammer yesterday and it has several stony growths on its stall. Any ideas on what they are?

They look like vermetid snails. I would crush them with tweezers as they irritate corals

Thank You! So just pull out the frag plug snap off snails with tweezers and place back in? Are they something I need to worry about? Frag has been in the tank for about 23 hours after a dip.

it is best to crush shells,and glue dab shut base

 

[Kaljaxias]

So I removed with some surgical clamps and gently scraped the base clean of the crusty snail bases. You still suggest glueing the shaft of the hammer?

if you think you got them,hold off ,if see return,then yes
