What are these on the wall of refugium? Spirobid worm? Vermitid snail? Feather duster, something else?

The small dots look like spirorbid worms and the larger tubes look a variety of small dusters to me. The tubes look white and don't seem to have the typical coil at the base like vermatids. Keep an eye on them for signs of a crown. Do you have vermatids elsewhere in the tank?

One or 2 vermitids in the dt. They like to grow under the chalice and encrusting montipora. Got to get the superglue out for the one.

If the ones in the photo were vermatids I'd suspect you'd have alot more in the DT.
