Possible pests on hammers

[cruzing240]

Hey everyone. I just notice in two of my hammers some odd looking marks/creatures. The one in the foreground is what caught my eye. What are the small ovals on the stem? While I was looking at that one, I noticed on the stem behind it, a couple of spiral cone shells growing on it. Are these things something to worry about? Also, the one in the foreground has been in the tank for about 2 months. The one behind it about 8 months.

1. Snail eggs.
2. Big undesirable Vermitid. You're going to have to manually remove it. Pliers and superglue.

Thank you. Any concern around the snail eggs?

they shouldn't be of any concern, what kind of snails do you know of that you have in there?
