Is anyone able to identify what these are? They look like limpets to me possibly? Two larges ones on one of the new astrea snails I got...

Can't really tell what Im looking at, but I don't see any Limpets in there.
 
Slipper Limpets, parasitic to snails. Please compare images, there is not enough detail to make the item out for certain.
 
Sure does look like a regular old Margarita shell to me. How either of you ascertained Slipper Limpets is beyond imagining.
 
You can see it on the shell.

 
Thanks for pointing it out for me Tahoe, with they shape it was really difficult to get any better picture. The second one is right above that one lining the left side. I tossed him and a few others with them from my new snail order into a temporary 20g hospital tank that hasn't had copper in it to clean while I do some more research.
