Can snails carry ick?

I purchased three snails on Sunday and I noticed on Tuesday my Coral Beauty had a small area on his side where it looked like some of his scales where missing (the color was gone). Forgive me if I am not using the right terms; I am new at this. I also purchase a piece of artificial coral, which had some sharp pieces. Could it be possible that he scraped against it? Water checks out fine.
