Hi all,

No idea if this will post as my town is being hit heavy by multiple storms currently.

Plugging the tank back in while we have power again, I noticed this little fan thing on one of my snails. Upon further inspection this one snail is absolutely covered in them. They “suck” into a tube(?) quite quickly when startled by a flashlight or when i accidentally hit the tank with my phone, then slowly re-emerged.

Just this one snail is affected, snail itself is fine, no visible hitchhikers in the rest of the tank of this kind or others! ID appreciated, sorry if photos are bad or hard to see
