Snail on hammer?

[pinkfloyd1312]

What am I seeing here on the base of my hammer? Some sort of snail? Remove or let it be?

Vermetid snail. Generally harmless but can irritate corals with the music web it puts out when feeding. A dab of super glue over the end of the tube will kill it.

Thanks, that's what I thought it was. I'll remove it...
