    ok good to know, i havent seen any sprial shaped shelss or anything like that, if it is a vermetid would they of come from my new orals to all of a sudden be showing up like this? Ive heard wrasses sometimes eat them, i hope my pink margin will if it is one

    Rocks mainly I would think, but the gammets could come in on corals and snail shell too I'm assuming.
    I can't believe with the plague I have I couldn't find one pic with a clear shot of a vermetid. LOL I started with one cuz I thought it was cool, now there are literally 100's of them. They even grow on the shells of my astrea's and nerites and pumps! I'll never eradicate them now so I just try to keep up with the ones I can reach and dab glue on.
    Here's the google images link
