Some sort of worm?

[billy816]

This thing has been on my hammer for a while and I just thought it was going to sprout but now it's got me wondering. Any ideas?

looks like a fan worm to me..or spiral worm.. doesn`t look harmful to me...

looks like a vermetid snail to me. harmless to the tank but sharp so watch your fingers.

+1 salty.

They use webbing to catch food. If it starts to bother the hammer you can cover it with super glue to get rid of it.

Its been there for about 2 months. Is that normal?

 

[ErinCahir]

Sure is. Hitchhikers are just part of the hobby.
