Just noticed this guy today, he is rather small, about the size of a pencil eraser. I have had several miscellaneous snails in this tank purchased at my LFS as part of renewing my CUC over the life of this tank. I’m assuming this in a juvenile offspring instead of a hitchhiker as I haven’t added anything to the tank for quite some time. I’ve never seen a snail with all the little hair like extensions coming off it.

Banded Trochus. My personal favorite snails since they eat a lot and can flip themselves over
 
Do they all have two antennas on their head and 8 more around their bodies, and I have just never noticed???
 
Yep. When I first noticed them I thought they were parasites but they're just part of the snail's foot
