Show my torch seems to be a little irritated and I took it out to inspect it and I found these guys on the rock what are they. They have somewhat of a hard shell could they be chiton snails

that's unfortunate, i wonder what is wrong with your corals

Not sure it looks like it’s splitting into 2 heads but the second head never fully extends out. There were a few Vermitid snails near it that I crushed. Not sure if they were annoying it. Guess I’ll see.

I have only heard of vermetids being a big bother on SPS corals, so definitely keep a closer eye on them
