Hey guys
I got a bunch of snails for a clean up crew a few weeks ago and this started to grow on a Snail. Can’t seem to figure out what it is.



3 pods pulled them off about a week ago and they are back.

Thanks Jake

They look like pineapple sponges - harmless and beneficial filter feeders, but I've never seen them growing on something alive before.

Bingo. Nothing to worry about. They grow in ever stable tank.
