I have this astrea snail walking around with these weird white cylinder shaped things. Is this snail poop, eggs, something I should be concerned about?


Sorry the pictures are so blurry

Can't tell from the photos but I would take the snail out, remove them completely and then keep an eyd on the snail to be sure they don't come back.

It might be an algae, or a tube worm, but I'd remove them to prevent regrets later.

I believe tube worms. Remove snail and place in container of tank water and brush or scrape off and return snail to the tank
