But it’s kind of creeping me out

It’s living in a tube, and it appears to have an eye. The tube is a quarter inch in diameter. I poked at it with a turkey baster, and it retreated back into its tube.

Is it a huge vermetid snail, or something else?

Not sure what it is but bumping. Gives me the creeps too.
 
Vermited snail, remove those. You can chip their shell off outside the tank or cover them with coral glue
 
Vermetid snail/worm
 
A foxface will chew them up. You won’t see immediate results but in time, the foxface will clear all your rock of the snail/worm. That’s been my experience with the pest.
 
So, should I start glueing the ends of the tubes closed? I tried using Coral Snow in the past, but it didn't make a dent in the snail population.
