Something on my candy canes

[JAMSOURY]

There’s these little stick looking things sticking out on a couple of my candy canes. Can anyone tell me what it is? They’re kinda purple. I also saw one growing on one of my zoas. Not sure if it’s anything

Looks like a vermetid worm/snail. If so they are harmless in my experience although many do not care for them aesthetically.

Vermetid snail. Can irritate corals!

Had a large one in my tank amd it was causing my hammer not to open fully. As soon as I got rid of it my hammer went back to mormal.

I think your candy cane coral is a boy!

Did you just cut it and lower feeding to get rid of them?
