What is this critter? I only just noticed it when I placed a Duncan next to it and the slime was grabbing stuff from around the area. Cant tell if it is a feather duster type of tube or if the thing has teeth. Kind of freaky looking right now.

These are the best photos I can get right now.


TIA

Looks like a vermitid snail. I have tons in my tank. Pretty difficult to prevent introducing them, they hitchhike on coral frags, rock, etc. I view them as relatively harmless but the webs can and will irritate nearby corals.
