flatworms on my snail

[rlablan]

So I have a larger snail that is covered in little white coily things that look a bit like flat worms. There are probably like 10 on it. Is that okay? should I scrub him off or something? I just saw them today, don't think they were there yesterday. Thanks guys

FYI they are the same little white thin worms that you find on the bottom of live rock. I was told they were okay on the rock, are they okay all over the shell of the snail?

Do a search for Spirorbid worms. If that is what you have, then it's nothing to worry about, they are harmless filter feeders.

Thanks sam!!!
Yeah fyi, I had the wrong name. I thought they were tube or flat worms, but your guess was correct. Thanks for the response.
