Snail identification?

Hi everyone, recently joined the forum.

Received some LPS two months ago, and I'm noticing slime nets and some type of snail on my candy cane (trumpet) coral:

Can anyone identify these? This is the coral post iodine dip, after scraping excess ?snails? off the skeleton with a razor blade. The whole skeleton was covered, unfortunately.

Thanks!
 
If you don’t see the base of a vermitid snail then it could be digitate hydroids. They have a similar appearance but have more of a fishing line than a net.
 
Not really - haven't seen anything like online images of vermetids (although those always seem to be of large specimens). Hope it's just the hydroids!
