Snail type and what is growing on it?

This snail showed up in my tank about a month after adding new plants, I think it's a bladder snail? But I have had bladder snails in the past and they reproduced like crazy, I've only seen one baby in the month or so this snail has been living in the tank.
Anyway not sure what he is? Very hard to get pictures with my nasty phone though

I noticed it looks like something is growing from him or his shell though? Trying to work out if that's normal or some weird growth, any ideas?

 

Looks like a bladder snail. Think i see antennae and kinda looks like a poop tube to me.

 

Maybe if we could see this little guy from different angles. My first guess wouldn't be bladder snail but I know that is of no help. How big is it? It almost looks like it has a jellyfish attached to it.

If I had to guess size I'd say around one cm? I'll check properly next time it's on the glass.
Here's the size of it compared to one of my zebras who's not quite a year old. Edit: Measured and it's actually almost 2 cm.

M yea no idea what it is, came from a plant I ordered online and was dumb enough not to quarantine. It hasn't damaged anything though so I'm not worried.

I'm just confused about what's on its side , never had a bladder snail this big so I never noticed if that was normal or not.
(excuse the dusty water i'd been cleaning the canister and just restarted it)

 

Think it is hydra like the ones on my snail

 

Snails have a range of hitchhikers including worms that are specialised to live in the shell. These often stretch out into the water.

BigManAquatics was right. This is a bladder snail and a big one at that. From these angles I feel sure DoubleDutch is correct about some hydra being on it. What I am seeing In the original photo really doesn't look like any kind of hydra I've seen photos of. I've never seen hydra in real life so can only go by what I've seen in photos.

I am going to call in StarGirl She is great at identifying strange things that show up in our tanks. What I am seeing in the original photo looks like one creature but could be a pile of whatever it is. Maybe hydra bodies piled on making it look like one object or as Redshark1 said, maybe some type of worm doing the same thing.

 

After some consideration I feel that what we are seeing here are outgrowths of the mantle and not separate animal life. I believe the first of these links is very helpful in deciding this.

How interesting ! I've never noticed that about them, since they're so tiny. What a unique characteristic, I've never seen that on any other snail.

I see the hydra on Doubledutches snail but not on the Bladder. Im with Redshark on this one.

Oh woah! I'd never noticed this in bladders I've had in the past, must've been cause they were so small.

Thank you for all your help guys
