Mushroom on snail shell

[Seahorse man]

Hi all, this sunday i got a few new snails, and i just noticed a pleasant little surprise, a mushroom growing on a snail? Ive looked for pictures online of this happening, but have found nothing. Will the mushroom continue to grow in harmony with the snail? Will the coral kill the snail? Should i remove the mushroom? Thanks!

Personally I think it’ll be fine
I don’t see why the mushroom would kill the snail

Gives the snail some character!

If you’re truly freaked out nothing wrong with removing it

Like mentioned above the mushroom will probably be fine, but don't forget that they do need light. If the snail is nocturnal or just doesn't go out in the sun a lot the mushroom won't amount to much. (or just detach) Definitely cool though.

The mushroom wont harm the snail at all. Most likely the mushroom will detach in a short time.
