What is this??????

[Ro Bow]

I have a turbo snail named turbo, who has been in my tank for a few weeks now. Today he tried to get out of my tank again, which i now is normal, but what i noticed that isnt normal are some white animals on him, super tiny, circle in shape, and have a black dot in the middle



Any ideas?

Harmless
Good filter feeders

Spirorbid worms are harmless filter feeders

if they are dangerous, any fish i could add that would eat them? i dont have a lid, so no wrassses.

No not dangerous in any way to anything. They're basically miniature feather duster worms with a hard calcified tube.
