Identification help: White fuzzy worm & Rod like growth on frag

[Impavidus]

Can I please get some help identifying 2 things in my tank?

1. White fuzzy worm: I say worm, but I’m not sure what it is. I found the 1st one a couple of weeks ago stuck in my return pump filter. I’m attaching a picture of what it looks like dead and dried out. It has a tail.

Today, I noticed the same fuzz under a shroom.

2. Rod like growths on Micromussa frag. Burgundy type of color with a rod tip. It looks like my mushroom has the same thing by white fuzz.

Here are some pictures to help. Thank you.

The last pic looks like vermatid snails, pic 3 resembles pineapple sponge.

Pineapple sponges are harmless, unless irritating the coral. Removing from water kills them.
Vermetid snails are a total pain. Best to break off the tube (or the snail itself if possible) and cover with super glue. If you can get the whole thing, crush it out of water and dispose. They release nets that irritate coral.

Thanks I removed all signs of vermetids with some bone cutters. I’ll monitor and remove ASAP if I see more.
