I have two snails that have a covering of what I'm assuming are some type of hydroid. These two are the only ones I see affected. Should these two snails be removed and disposed of or can the shells be cleaned without killing the snails?

I have this exact problem with a snail. Is this the way they were introduced possibly?
Yes i used a dental pick to remove them from the zoas. They reappeared on a snail again and i caught it before they hopped off and scrubbed the shell. Have yet to see them reappear.They came in from a shipment. After cleaning them as suggested I never had the issue again. And that was three years ago now.
Thanks for this thread! This could be an exact copy of the snail from my tank. Now all scrubbed and fingers crossed.I have two snails that have a covering of what I'm assuming are some type of hydroid. These two are the only ones I see affected.
