Saw this thing under my snail and was wondering if it's a pyramid snail or something? :mad:

Also saw this copod on the snail. LOL thought it was funny. (Have a lot of those big copods.)

The snail looks like an Asterea Snail, it's hitchhiker appears to be a Chiton.

Are chitons bad for snails?

Should I remove?

No, they are a great clean up crew member.
