Antenna on monti and tiny worm's on glass

[SuthernReefer]

Was scoping out my new pod population with a flashlight and came across this small tiny worm. I couldn't see limbs on it until I added magnifying lens to my phone.

Also noticed these antennas on only my montipora. Pictured is a monti cap from TSA and there was also the same critter on a encrusting fruity pebbles monti from TSA as well. Both came in same order.

Ive always dipped my corals before adding to my tanks and have never had any pests in 2 years of reefing. I got this shipment a few months ago so I'm not sure if they have spread beyond the montipora yet. I went over every coral in tank and can't find them on anything else.

I pulled the fruity pebbles out and gave it a dip in a potent mix of coral rx and it didn't phase these antenna creatures, but some other small skinny worm came out. Looked like one end was black and the other was kind of clear. It looked smooth, but I didn't magnify it so it could have had limbs as well.

I'll be pulling this monti cap as I don't want any pests, whether good or bad. Already got rid of the fruity pebbles even after trying to frag smaller pieces off to save it, but didn't know exactly where the critter was in the frag.


Can y'all ID these and give me any info on whether they are good or bad and how to eradicate them if possible?

Thanks

Looks like a vertimed snail tube on the monti.

The other is just a pod. Good guy. Looks like an amphipod.

With just two feeding tentacles (palps) sticking out, I'd guess Coral Boring Spionid Worms:

Coral Boring Spionid Worms -- an ugly bane to SPS

This is not something I've ever seen before. They are extremely ugly. Mar the appearance of SPS. This is on a "Beach Bum" encrusting montipora. I would take aphasia or even montipora eating nudibranchs over this crap. I've beat those with hard work. Not sure how to eliminate these without...

Coral Boring Spionid Worms- Anybody Killed them?

These turds have survived Bayer, Coral RX Pro, KCI, and Exodus dip. They apparently retract into their tubes, and back into the coral skeleton where they apparently are safe from the medications. Below I will post some pictures for reference. The first pic is mine, but the others are just...

Don't think it's a pod. It compresses and expands like a worm. After research, it looks like a detritus worm, but I haven't found any close up images that show limbs like this does with magnified lens.
