Tube looking things on rock

[randycornejo]

Been finding these hard tube looking things on my rocks lately. Not sure what they are, are they vermatid snails? Hydroids? Sorry the pictures aren't great. Any suggestions would be welcome. Thanks.

I have some similar things around my tank. Is there a "web-like" stuff that comes out of them when you feed?

Vermetid snails. I've got tons of em. They are unsightly but harmless unless their mucus strings irritate a coral...

That's what I thought.

Yeah I have.

Mine all seem to live in my zoas which I can't stand. From what I hear you can put a ball of super glue or putty over top of the tube and the snail inside will die. I guess this is a way to control them, but seems to be pretty time consuming if you have a bunch of them.

Yeah I have a bunch. Would take forever.
