Hello reefers!
My name is Adrian and this is my first post already with a question as I am very new to reefing.
Yesterday I Discovery a wormy looking thing on my candy canes.
It didn‘t move or anything, it just sits there just the polyps.
I also took a picture of it. Hope you can see something there.
I hope you can help me and it is nothing to worry about.
Thanks in advance!

Greetings, Adrian

Welcome to Reef2Reef!

Unfortunately, I can't make it out well enough to help identify it. I'd say its possibly a vermetid snail but far from certain. If you poke it with something is it soft or hard?
 
Welcome to R2R!!! Hard to tell from the pic.

It was very hard when I touched it with the tweezers and there was a hole which when I poked insinde it, something inside moved.
I think you are right about the vermetid snail. Tomorrow I will go to my LFS and get some superglue to close the hole. Maybe that will help.

Thank you very much for your help!
