Eggs on a snail

[ahiggins]

so I have this astrea snail that had a hitch hiker on it. I pulled it off and this was the snail:


I don't know what that is but after I pried it off...it left like an egg sack on the astrea snail shell:



Any idea what this is? Can I toss the astrea (and eggs) in the tank?

@Lionfish Lair any ideas?

Ive seen these snails hitch hike on other snails quite often. Mostly Mexican turbos, and astraea snails. They seem to be harmless from what I've experienced.

I did find out, I think from lionfishlairs website. I tossed them in. I felt bad that I pried the guy off lol
He didnt survive (hermit ate him) but the eggs did.
