Hard brown tube

Quarter of an inch in size. Immobile, hard like a snail. What is it?

Best I can tell its a vermitid snail.

Look at this site and see if the picture matches. You'll have to scroll down a bit.

How about Spiroribidae. Here's a great answer, words right out of my mouth. My cable, computor & tv are down. You should break them off they will spread in the thousands and your rocks and corals will look like porcupines. Vermetids are thicker with two tentacles.

I see two tentacles on the one to the left. Though, the shell does look like a spiroribid.
