Few months ago I was cleaning some frag racks and found a barnacle looking shell. Since I have noticed what looks to be barnacles growing on a snails shell. Thought it was kinda cool but not 100% on if they are barnacles. Their shell has a spiral type structure.

vermetid snails, they can bother coral so if you get the chance crush it with your finger.
