Need identification help, please!

Could anybody help me identify these strange creatures in my tank? It's the long part sticking out of the middle of the corral pointing up. It's hard to touch (metal tweezers) and it will extend a long and thin mucus-like string into the water and collects marine snow. It seems to be getting bigger and I found another one on my rock. Thanks

Vermetid snails.

Vermetid snails.

Yup, that is it! Thanks. I read they could hurt stony corals, however, the one it's growing on seems to also be doing the best (growth-wise). Should I be concerned?

Get bumblebee snails they will eat them. I thought they weren't harmful till I had so many of them they multiply and my tank was getting a mess . They are harmful to corals. Looks like strings everywhere they put out to catch food

I have like two of those in my tank. Thought They were harmless to to be honest I just read your post I haven't seen anything hurt yet so the Webby stringy stuff they put out that's going to harm the corals

Their slime can irritate some corals more than others. If I can see the entire tube I just scrape the entire thing off and suck it out of the tank.
