We ordered some Florida Cerith Snails and one arrived with something attached to its shell. I don’t think it’s aptasia because it doesn’t retract when you touch it or remove it from the water. It’s actually a bit stiff, maintaining its shape out of water.

Apologies, my pictures aren’t the best. It’s light red in color.

Thanks

Can you get a pic in white light?

I tired to clean it up with the white balance a bit on my phone and it almost looks like ogo or some other macro algae that has attached to the shell. White light pic would be very helpful though.

Thank you! Here are some slightly better pictures, but I believe you’re right—it looks like Google pictures of ogo.

Still a hair blurry, but does look like ogo. It is a great macro and most herbivores will devour it.
