Can anyone tell me what is going on with this snail? Are these aptasia or feather dusters or?? All my other snails looks normal besides this guy.

I'm not sure what to tell you, other than I like the fashion taste of your snail! That pink mohair sweater suits it well!
 
Welcome to Reef2Reef!

It looks like your snail has some colonial hydroids hitching a ride. You probably want to pull the snail out of the tank in a container of saltwater and give the shell a thorough cleaning.
I've heard smothering the hydroids with kalk paste may work, and here are some other threads with suggestions that might be helpful:
