Weird Hitchhiker on snail

[ConnorDaReefa]

Hey. I don’t think that this is a dangerous hitchhiker that I have found in my tank but I could be wrong. I noticed that on one of my astrea snails, it seems to be carrying a strange stick like hitchhiker that almost looks like an underwater fungi or something. Hopefully one of you guys out there can help ID this strange lookin fellow. I haven’t seen anything like this before, but disregard the algae on the shell

Can you post pics under white light?

Briopsis perhaps?

Kinda looks like acetabularia sp. Algae

What are po4 and no3 levels in the tank?

My nitrates are hovering right above zero, and my phosphates are at 0.02. This is a little low for me normally so I definitely need to try and bring it up a little bit.

I know that my camera quality isn’t the best so it is hard to judge but I searched up Acetabularia and it seems to be an exact match. I will probably just clean off the snails shell and I should be okay since that is the only thing carrying the algae. Thanks for the help.

I see hair algae and macroalgae known as mermaids wine glass similar to teacup macroalgae
