Something's is the tubeworm?

[clutch]

Today i was looking at one of my zoe's rock and i noticed a snail or something come out of a tube. It was like a snail body, 2 tenicles coming out, This is all i can see. I was wondering if it is eating my zoe's really they haven't did to much in months.

Any Ideas....... Plz help

ok i think i figured it out in the Invertabrate Zoology text book it looks alot like a Serpulorbis worn snail. Any idea if it reef ok...

could be. i did some looking, they appear to be related to or are a type of vermited snails which are harmless, but if they are close to your corals the mucus web they use for feeding may cause the corals not to open fully.
