White stringy stuff on one snail

[Impavidus]

Not sure if this is a parasite. It's only on this one snail. Any ideas?

Might be detritus. But maybe not.

A lot of snails leave a slime trail and it can get stuck on the outside of their shell. Nassarius snails and conchs especially leave a lot of slime. My conch is sometimes dragging a nearly foot long line of sand covered slime behind him and he constantly has sand and slime stuck to his shell. It’s perfectly normal.

Happens to my nassarius all the time.

Both of you nailed it looks like detritus and sand mixed with snail slime.
