Could be a bivalve or another snail.
Hitchhiker basically would be my guess.

This is my trochus Mammoth. His base is approx 2” diameter. He has a clam on a clam on his shell...no I didn’t just repeat myself. There is one clam on the shell of the other who is on Mammoth. Snailception it has been called by other reefers. He also has several slipper limpets on him also, as well as several different types of coraline and sponge. They are just filter feeders and cause no issue at all.
