I noticed some bits of debris stuck to one of my stylo colonies today, went to brush it away and realized they were actually little pebbles attached to the coral. I snapped off a little branch and pried one of these pebbles off (it was stuck on there really well) to discover that it's actually a snail, and it left a bald spot when I pulled it off. Any thoughts on an ID? They were hanging out towards the tips of some healthy branches so I'm not sure whether they're eating the stylos or just using them for protection.

Wow, I've never seen those before, they look evil and icky!
