What on the shell?

Any help on an identification of this white thing on my trochus snail's shell?

At a quick glance it looks like green hair algae.

Yes, has a bit of that. I am more wondering the whole thing though.

I would just remove him to a small container of tank water and give him a good scrub with one of those disposable electric toothbrushes.
