seabass Posted September 3, 2020 Share Posted September 3, 2020 Looks like a tiny fan worm. Not a problem at all. 1 Quote Link to comment
Tired Posted September 3, 2020 Share Posted September 3, 2020 Yep, that's a fan worm, and a pretty one with the multiple layers of fan. I suspect its tube is just very well-camouflaged against the shell, but I guess it's possible it somehow wound up inside the shell. It could eventually cause the snail some problems if it grows big, but it might take long enough to get big that the snail just dies of old age beforehand anyway. 1 Quote Link to comment
