The beam of light in the last picture looks like an alien beaming a light down...

Why does that remind me of a verminted snail?
Can you get a video instead? The reason I say video is that it pulls in focus better sometimes than a still picture, plus it lets us see the flow pattern that it moves in.
If it is, I would fix it, or move the frag plug, because it looks like it is being picked on.

Yeah but it might be an unwanted hitchhiker. I got my first vermetid snails off a frag.
Then all of a sudden I had about 10. I have knocked quite a few out. I try to check the tank every 3-4 days just for those, and take care of them as I come across them.
Easy to get rid of, just sometimes they are all the way down in the tank.

Yeah... Just move the frag. If you follow visually that trail you will notice a SMALL little bump on the rock. That is the home of this snail.
If you have a good suction (turkeybaster) you can sometimes suck it right out of it's hold)
I normally break the crustacean/shell/home off and get rid of it that way.

OK yeah the shakes were hard to see some. A darker background would help with seeing them too. Youtube sometimes lets you save it in a higher quality.
SO... in a quick look.
Take your turker baster next time you see them and squeeze the air out away from them and slowly go closer. Get near it and SUCK IT UP... see if it will release.
It does, indeed, look like one. (I could not see the other one in that video)
If the turkey baster does not suck it out, take something hard (as you should now know exactly where it is coming from) and break the opening off/out, and suck out the insides.
Yes while some people use superglue gel and cover the hole, sometimes it is easier to break it off than remove the rock from the water.
It does look like it is irritating it.

I knew it couldn't have been a snail because it was always in the same spot. I was up till 1am reading up on vermetid snails and worms with tentacles, thats when i came upon the spaghetti worm, and after reading that it could get up to 1ft long and branch out more than 30 extremities, it had to go.
