Vermetid Snail.. Crush off with bone cutters then glue over area it came off of.

Didn't wanna glue, but I think I got him, I saw his guts and head and stuff, it was messy.

Just crushed his little head with some forceps. honestly... was pretty ez.

I removed that little squiggle right after I took this photo as well. forgot to take another one before I put it in the water, dont wanna disturb it again.

i wouldnt even bother messing with trying to remove it. just put a dab of superglue in the end of its tube so you can be sure it didnt get loose and land somewhere else in your tank. they arent anything super dangerous, but if they start to multiply itll be a pain in the butt to get them all out. they shoot out stringy spider webs that will irritate your corals so its best to just cap them off and let them starve/die in their tube. just get a little single use superglue gel tube and squirt some in its tube.

But I heard they also attach their base to your corals and suck the nutrients?

I guess if what you're saying kills them off then it wouldn't matter actually lol. I'll try it next time. Already squeeshed him. (evidence above )
