I am a beginner that's trying to identify a hitchhiker that's on one of my snails. They don't appear on any of my other snails. I've searched other R2R threads and haven't found anything that looks like this.

Any help is appreciated.

Are you referring to the white spirals on the snail? Those are spionid worms, perfectly harmless
 
Are you referring to the little thread looking things coming off? If so, those are part of the snail.

Yes, I am referring to the white thread-like things coming off the snail. I didn't realize they're part of the snail because I don't notice them on any of my other snails. Thank you!!

No, I am referring to what tbrown mentioned. I believe he properly identified them. Thank you for your help though!
