Anyone know what this clear/white hitchhiker on my snail is? My only guess at the moment is aiptasia... and I'm really hoping I'm not correct.

Photos were coming out very flat, so the image below links to a youtube video.

I hate to burst your bubble, but it looks like aiptasia.

I've got the snail out of the tank. Think it is worth trying to remove the aiptasia from the snail... or... anyone want a free snail? :cool:

i'm pretty sure you can get the aiptasia off the snail pretty easy just make sure you get the aiptasia all the way off any piece left and it will grow back.
