Very common good hitchhiker. These little guys are a type of sponge. They are most commonly found in overflows and in high flow areas of the sump. However, they can sometimes bee seen in shaded areas of your rockwork.

I'm not too familiar with Vermetid Snails, but to me I immediately thought it looks like a Pineapple Sponge.

Oh, well someone beat me to it :) But yeah they shouldn't be too bad of a hitchhiker. They should also take some silicates out of your water if you have any.
