Hitchhiker on snail ID

I have a feather looking thing that pops in and out of the white bump on on of my snail shells. I just got the snail today and have no idea what this thing is. The 'feather' is to fine to show in the pic but you can see the white bump.

What kind of snail is that? 

 

Is the white bump in a swirl shape?

 

Maybe a hydroid of featherduster. Look tgose up and see if it looks like what you have

I got them from reef cleaners as well. I just found reference to possibly being barnacles by doing Google searches.

I have these on my snails too, I only get then from reef cleaners, maybe John knows? I thought they were baby barnacles.

Paging Dr @johnmaloney!

Small barnacles, they are harmless.
