Hitchhiker on snail shell. Can anyone ID?

Looking at pictures, it may be a feather duster but I'm worried it's Aiptasia or something else.

Awesome! I thought that might be what it is but I wanted to be certain! Thank you!

I see a larger aptasia on the front and something fuzzy on the side I can't make out

Ok, so one vote for feather duster and one for aptasia. Ugh. lol

Agree with reef lover. I don’t see any type of aptasia

Thank you, I'm pretty sure that is what it is. If it is a feather duster, will it transplant itself to the rocks or just stay there?

It's a feather duster and will stay on the shell. We had a few snail that had them

Looks like a feather duster to me.

Kind of hard to tell, but looks like a feather duster. A whiter picture would help for sure as it would ad more clarity

Thanks everyone. Seems the consensus is feather duster. I am going to leave the little guy in the tank then. Thanks again to everyone for the replies!
