I.D. this

[big deddy]

I was moving my live rock and adding a little to my dt. I happened and seen this. I thought it was just a mushroom, but since it has a snail shell hanging off it I didn't know. Whatever is between it and shell has stretched out because shell is farther away than b4. Is this a shroom? Or something bad?

I can't tell from that pic. Can you post a better pic?

 

[big deddy]

I will take one with the whites turned up when I get home.

Here's one better pic but still with heavy blues

That's looks like a mushroom moving from one rock to another. It will eventually rip what's left of hanging on to the mother and leave babies behind.

Thanks! Would you recommend me getting a spotted mandarin to control this? Or what's my best option ?

Not too sure about mandarins but 6 line wrasse, yellow coris wrasse and melanurus wrasse will take care of them. Make sure you have a suitable tank for them.

Flatworm exit will also take care of them.

The type of flatworm you appear to have are pretty harmless.
