Purple things growing on rock

Any idea what these are?

Vermetid snails?

 

[ISpeakForTheSeas]

Yeah, Vermetid Snails - generally considered pests, and it's generally recommended to remove them.

Thanks, I'm not surprised. I've hit the pest lottery so far lol

bumbleebee snails or manual removal is best option. they can irritate nearby corals with their spit that you'll notice during feeding time. Cracking off the entire structure and making sure the snail inside is killed will do it, others prefer to glue the end shut but I prefer the former method. They reproduce faster in higher nutrient tanks.

Unfortunately it's still cycling and I've gone through so many problems with this live rock, bryopsis, dinos, now these! But there's too many before I noticed due to having lights out for dinos unfortunately so I'm gonna try some bumblebee snails and hope they can keep em in check! Thanks

I just popped some off a rock with a dental pick (I found in my toolbox that I have no idea why I had it... lol). They pop right off if you get underneath and pry a little
