Hi all, this sunday i got a few new snails, and i just noticed a pleasant little surprise, a mushroom growing on a snail? Ive looked for pictures online of this happening, but have found nothing. Will the mushroom continue to grow in harmony with the snail? Will the coral kill the snail? Should i remove the mushroom? Thanks!

Personally I think it’ll be fine
I don’t see why the mushroom would kill the snail

Gives the snail some character!

If you’re truly freaked out nothing wrong with removing it :)

Like mentioned above the mushroom will probably be fine, but don't forget that they do need light. If the snail is nocturnal or just doesn't go out in the sun a lot the mushroom won't amount to much. (or just detach) Definitely cool though. :)
