Hey guys I have a quick question can any one help me identify what is growing on my turbo snail. It kinda looks like a spider egg sack. I know that's not possible lol but just to reference what it feels like. It's on the bottom right of his shell.

If your referring to that small greyish white ball on the right then it's probably a sponge of some sort.

If that really is a sponge growing on the snail, it's kind of funny lol. No harm will come of it.

Sppnges usually grow with high nutrients. Your cyano bloom says you have elevated po4. Thats most likely why.
