Vermetid snail. You have a snail on a snail lol. Harmless filter feeder.
 
Yep, vermatid. Harmless but they can reach plague proportions. They grow everywhere and on everything. Pumps, heaters etc. I would try to eridicate where you can.

Interesting I’ve only seen the one I guess I should try and remove it from the snail and pitch it eh?
