    Do you ever see this snail hanging out in your zoanthid corals? If so, could be a sundial snail and they are bad news! I caught one eating my zoanthids and had to pick him out of my tank by hand.

    That does look like a snail on a snail, but DEF not a vermetid snail, not even close, maybe a stomatella, but don't think so.

    Shoot john at reefcleaners a PM, he'll know for sure! or corralline

    It is a dry heat, yeah right !
    I want to say either Spionid or Serpulidae.

    The color of the tube has me stumped.

    Honestly I would have even said Vermatid myself.

    Hopefully someone else will chime in like John...

    Not even close huh??? Sorry you are not even close.

    It is actually 2 vermetid snails wraped together if you look closely.

    The vermetid snails can come in different sizes and colors.

    This will be my last post on this theard. Please just view the link below.
