It's purple and growing on one of my snails. There are two separate ones on one snail. When I feed my fish there is like a small tongue like arm that sticks out.

Any thoughts?

Thanks, Freddie
 
I can't tell from the picture but could it be a vermetid snail? I have one that hitchhikes on another snail and it is kind of purplish.
 
Hard to tell from pic...look up slipper limpet...

I don't think it is anther snail cause it hasn't moved in 3 day
 
vermetid snails make a tube like structure and don't really move around like another snail but you will see it poking out from tube.
