Help. Unidentified Snail.

[NBettas83]

Oh no, I just found a skinny black snail in my tank, I just saw it today (although the poop has been showing up for about a week). The last thing I added to my tank were some plants and that was 4 months ago, although a lot of them have been declining a LOT recently. Do snail eggs go dormant and hatch when the conditions are good? I gave my plants a Hydrogen Peroxide and Salt bath before I put them in the tank. How could this be? I'm also kinda scared because I can't find my Nerite, although he's probably hiding out of sight like usual. Is this snail a predator? Can it kill other fish and snails? Will it reproduce? What is it? I HAVE SO MANY QUESTIONS AAAAAAAA

(Sorry for bad picture, I had to zoom in)

Just looks like a trumpet snail to me. Theyre harmless and many people actually like them myself included. Not only will they help keep things clean but help move around ur substrate. Ive had them in a planted tank. They wont hurt ur fish or snails tho no worries. Those also dont lay eggs, they have live babies. And their shells are very strong, obviously it survived ur plant dips. And it will reproduce if there is enough food but im pretty sure they need a mate unlike some other snails.

Ok, thanks, there are these white stringy things on the glass (not detrius or worms), but they kinda look like eggs, is it possible those are eggs, I'm fine with sharing the aquarium a bit more I just don't want more than two or three say, one is good enough for me.
It's also black, and I couldn't find any photos of black ones, is it just uncommon for MTS to be black?

Here, sorry about how bad the picture is, it's so hard to get good photo quality when zoomed in.
My tank's condition doesn't help either.

EDIT: Btw they are not hydra.

Can u get a pic of them on the side of the glass they are on? So hard to tell from the pics but they dont look like eggs at all

It looks like a trumpet snail. I have to warn you they are most annoying at night. Usually around midnight they bring out the trumpets they store at the end of the shells and start playing. Will wake you up endlessly until you get rid of them.

I tried but you can't see them in the image. I'll just scrape them off next wc and if they come back I will make a thread.
Now what I need to know is how to control them, I've heard you give them less food, but my tank is an algae farm so they would find it themselves.
