Vermited?! Ish?!

This looks very similar to what I could find on Vermited, but seems to be too dark of purple and haven’t ever seen any mucus nets.... Vermited or something else?!?!

Vermetid, take it off from the base, don't just cut the tube, it hide in the base

Well I found one on that coral and one on another..... the second I had to glue over.... that coral I removed it completely... however if you find two...

Def vermetid, just a dark shell. Break off with pliers and toss.

Any further management steps I can take?! Seems like this pest can quickly spread out of control

Not if you kill it quick.

Well found it on those two corals I actually already had bumble bee snails. Hopefully, I don’t find myself in tank teardown mode 6 months from now, kind of an unfortunate blow the hobby brings us

Sprirobid worms. Harmless, just annoying. Scrape em off.

Just don't worry about few things: spirorbid snails, feather duster worms, pineapple sponges, Amphipods, you will have constantly in your system, bever can get them off, and they are completely harmless

Yea, I was mainly just worried about this, I searched as well as I could the remaining corals and frag plugs. Only on these two. Both came from TCK however these weren’t visible when the corals arrived a month or two ago
