I noticed these on my astrea snails. I had an algae outbreak prior to me noticing them, so I couldn’t see them before. They retract into the black cone when touched.

Looks like vermatid snails. You can carefully snip them off at the base with scissors or bone cutters making sure not to damage the snail shell.
