Looks like vermetid snails to me. Do they seem to have a circular base, and a "pipe" that sticks out of them? And during feeding times, do they seem to have lines of strings that come out?

chaetopterid tube worms ( looks like feather dusters when open). may also emit mucus as they are filter feeding. I dont like them in my tank and general pull them or cut them off my rock as they can multiply quickly

They are similar to SPIONID WORMS. These type of worms also live in tubes, but rather than filter feeding like the dusters, they will grab larger food with their palps (the antenna-looking things).

They have got a circular base not sure about stringy but will keep my eye on it I don’t think they move? Are they bad
