I got this coral on Boxing Day at big Al's. I notice that it has a few of those tube worms that send out streamers, (that's the technical terms right &#128516
Anyway, should I flick those off or will it not affect the coral?

Looks like it might be vermetid snails. If thats what they are, I would try to snap of their tubes if possible and get rid of them before they start to multiply and become a problem.

looks like Vermetid snails to me also. snap the shell off and fill with coral glue ( or krazy glue)

I agree

Thanks for the replies, I'll be sure to get rid of them.

I read on liveaquaria that they have sweeper tentacles at night, but so far I haven't seen any. Do they like getting coral food at night? It seems to be nicely inflated during the day.
