Identification: Are These Anemones?
I noticed this morning that several of my snails are completely covered with these tiny little anemone-like creatures. They seem to have appeared overnight, and I don't see them anywhere else in the tank.

Those look like hydroids of some sort to me. Try a google search and see if you can identify the correct genus and maybe species.

Google colonizing hydroids....
IMO, ditch the snails, sucks to waste life like that but you will be grateful later that you did |
