Hello,

My turbo snail flipped itself over this morning, and when I was helping it back upright I noticed it seems to have a very small critter with a shell attached to it:

It has a curved shell that looks a bit like a cockle but seems to only have one side, and a little black 'neck' that is just poking out in the photo above.

Does anyone know what it is? Snail? Limpet? Bad guy or fine to leave in?

Thanks in advance for the help!
