Any idea what these are growing out of my acan's?

I thought maybe vermetid snail tubes but although the tubes seem to be emitting a stringy web material, the tubes themselves are soft and I can't seem to find any snails or critters around the base or bottom of the coral.

Full disclosure: I'm still very new to the hobby and in the excitement of getting some new corals today didn't check these acans out properly before buying them - now I'm freaking out that I made a terrible mistake :oops:

Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated!

hi ,welcome to the reef... :)
to me looks like vermetid snails, coral looks good ,growth over bases.
take coral out of tank to super glue holes shut. gel type.
not break off for a while ,not to damage coral tissue.
