So thought this was snail poop at first... than realized it was a snail. Any body here ever seen these before? It’s tiny!

Does it move? Or is it stationary to that one spot?
It moves. It’s gone now, but I’m sure it’ll pop back up.

In the picture there is a dark brown circle towards the top, that’s the “door” to the shell and then above that is it’s tiny mouth and feelers. The shell is raised above the glass slightly so it swayed in the current, that’s why I thought it was snail poop on the glass at first.
