These are growing on both sides of my hammer coral base. Trying to ID. I was thinking some type of snail.

Vermetid snail. Not necessarily a bad thing, but an abundance of them could irritate your corals. They cast out a slimy web when they feed and this can get caught up on the corals. If you have any epoxy you could just smother the shell.
 
Looks like vermetid snail or tunicate but thinking vermetid. You can take an old credit card and remove/discard afterwards. hey build up their tube so they can spit their mucus into the flow of water, yet without letting the mucus go. This mucus then picks up small pieces of food, which they then eat with the mucus. If you start seeing them in your tank don’t let them go untouched. They will build a large population and annoy your expensive corals you’ve worked so hard to keep happy.
 
glue em shut!!!
