I pulled this large vermatid out of one of the frags I got at Reef Currents yesterday. Nothing particularly interesting about it except that it survived a 15 min dip in Bayer. I thought that Bayer would kill it for sure, I guess not.
I have dipped infested AEFW frags in a super concentrated solution of Bayer and revive combined and still see few survivors on the coral.

That doesn't look like a vermetid snail. I have quite a few, and they are dark and don't break off. You have to crush them or else they will just regrow that particular colony. I believe that's a tube worm. Here's what a vermetid snail looks like.
And if you want to see what a "large" vermetid snail looks like, check out this thread of mine from about a year and a half ago. I still have this guy - yes, I know I'm weird, having a pet vermetid. I need to get some updated pics - it is about one half inch in diameter now and probably 4-ish inches long. In the new tank I have it located so its web just lands on a rock, so it doesn't hurt anything.
Haha you're out of your mind, Frank! Pet vermitid snails?!!! I think my 20 long AIO is basically a vermitid snail tank that hosts LPS and SPS on the side though, so I get it.
I totally agree the typical little ones suck. I have cut my hands on them more times than I care to remember. I still only have one big one, so they don't seem to reproduce well (maybe if I had 2 - I'm not sure what their reproductive biology is).
