This good, bad or just decoration?

Purchased liverock about 7 months ago for my QT tank, what is this thing?
Every time I feed frozen foods, food gets stuck at the tip. Not sure if it's eating it or if it's just as it is, getting stuck.

I see 2-3 more little thorns like the one in question at 80% of the size of this one.

Can someone tell me what it is, tyvm!

Vermetid Snail, kill it. Put some glue over the tip of it.

No not the snail, sorry I was not specific enough.

The object is on my rock, it's light brown and pointing down.

yes. that is a vermetid snail.
just put a dab of glue over the top to seal it off.

I did a search of vermetid snail and realized you did see what I was talking about. There are a few more babies. I'll try and start with superglue.
I did read someone say they squeezed the bottom of the tube and squish it's body (larger area) or emerald crab. I'll try glue before the crab.

Tyvm guys!

How about this white fuzzy thing? It's been the same size. On the same piece of liverock as the v. Snail

Sponge ☺

Tyvm, how do I know if it is dead, it does not seem to grow in the months I've had it.

Dead sponges often turn an (even more in some cases) lifeless brown color, and slowly rot away.

Yours looks as though it may be a pineapple sponge - they don't get very big.

Tyvm, it's definatly not brown and has been the same whiteish color for months. I'll let it be and see how it turns out.

Doing a prazipro bath so I'll glue the snails in 2 weeks. Or do you guys think I'll be fine adding glue with no water change for another week?

 

[Maritimer]

You'd probably be OK with the glue, as you'd not be using very much. Vermetid snails aren't really an emergency - they cast a "net" of mucus to capture drifting particles, and that net can annoy corals ... but they're not seriously predatory or dangerous - mostly annoying.

Tyvm
I did just read about that slime/net and this confirms its alive.
