what is this?

[lpatch]

I have these red worm looking things attached to the stem of my candy cane corals and my frogspawn corals. It looks like they send out some sort of line occasionally, and they are getting bigger- does any one know what they are?

+1 on vermetid snail. keep an eye on your corals, the web the secret can irritate some corals.

Frankly where it is.. Break it off and get rid of it, now.

It will, more than not, cause some sort of irritant to the CC and you wont know it until it is upset and urinated off.

+1 on this remove them, or they will spread and cause your tank to turn into a giant web, they also irritate coral. I have heard breaking them can cause them to spread, so try super glueing the top.

Yes superglue if you can not get all of it off.
