What is this on my Pandora zoanthid

Hey guys there is something in this tube that will spread webbing everywhere and it really bothers my other coral can it be removed and if not what do I do also what could it be

Looks like a large vermetid snail. I would try to remove it by its base.

By you saying " spreads webbing everywhere" initial thought is vermitted snail as these release a mucus web and catch food particles in it then drag the mucus web in and eat the food

Yes that’s exactly what it does how do I remove it with what tool?

Don’t worry the pandora zoas will out compete it for space and most other corals lol

Crush it with needle nose pliers. Poor things.

Ive never ever removed any but read as mibu says use needle nose pliers to crush or twist of from base,read also some have success gluing the opening of the tube shut to literally starve them,i read they reproduce quite quickly so maybe best look around tank and see if can spot others and crush or remove in tank or remove rock and remove them etc.
Ive seen some pictures of tanks with literally 100's and 1000's of them so best to battle them when 1 or a few i would of thought ^_^
Good luck ,im sure you be ok
