someting on snails shell??

[shinobi9119]

I was looking at my tank today and noticed one of my astrea snails shells had a green bubble on it. Can snails grow bubble algae on their shells? I dont see it anywhere else in my tank.
Should I take the snails out and clean him. Should I be doing somethingto look for it in my tank somewhere??

bump anyone?

Yes, Yes and Yes.
Bubble algae can grow anywhere on anything.
Do clean the snail.
Do some investigation in your tank to look for other bubbles.

Yes, and I would tank him out of the tank to remove it, so that it doesn't burst in the tank and spread more.
