ID Please

I have noticed some of these on rocks and frag plugs down in my frag tank.. They are rather small and black... They appear to have a tube like structure on the top. I have no idea what they are... Any one seen / dealt with these?

Interesting I have had vermetid snails in the past in other tanks and never noticed the black base.

That had me wondering for the fist few seconds as well. Mine are alway white or cream color. I saw these an said to myself, the shape says vermetid snail, but the color is wrong? But I'd say vermetid snails as well.

Agree with vermetid snails. If they pester your corals you can cover them in gorilla glue. During feeding they put out a web that annoy coral.
