Hitchhiker's on snail shell?

mwil79 · Jul 14, 2020

Hi all,

Can anyone help me identify two different hitchhikers on my snails?

First picture you can see something on the top of the shell, maybe an anemone of some form?

2nd and 3rd pictures like 2 tentacles that constantly swing around

Thank you in advance.

Regards,
Mark

Possibly aiptasia in the first pic

The first picture definitely looks like aiptasia. Did you buy these or pull from the ocean? ~ Shaun K

I bought them, I pulled the first snail out of the tank in quarantine for now. I was thinking Aiptasia but wasn't 100%. Hopefully no other signs of it as that was the only things I've noticed.
