This Thing Just Came Out Of My Nerite Snail

He was just upside down as it came out then kept chugging along so I removed him just Incase it’s some kind of parasite but it’s not moving at all

 

I think it might have moved towards the outer rI'm of the tank

 

I have no idea what that could be. It looks weird.

Wow

 

No idea what ot is but id get it out it doesn't look good

 

Yeah it’s out but I can’t find what it is

Can’t sleep lookin up all different kinds of parasites and I can’t find any thing

 

Do you have anubias in your tank? I have some in mine and the flowers look like that when they start rotting. Maybe the snail got a flower caught in its shell.

 

Kinda looks like a stomach so maybe it some how got bit by one of my angels I honestly have no idea anything help right now

It does look a lot like a sprouting seed! Hopefully that is all it is.

 

The main parasite that affects snails in the aquarium hobby is the snail leech. There are a few different types it's possible it is a leech, but it doesn't look like the snail leeches I have seen.

Some more info Fig. 6 Feeding behavior of the leech ''H. robusta'', adult individual...

Definitely doesn't look like any of those! Is there a chance if it was a parasite that affects snails would it be able to harm my fish

Yeah it looks a lot like one but how in the world did it get a seed as big as itself inside of it. I don't even have any plants flowering right now

 

I couldn't help but chuckle when a seed was mentioned
It looks to me like a seed, now that you mention it, I don't think a snail stomach is that large.

 

Maybe the seed was stuck in it's shell and when it sprouted, it got too big and fell out.

I hope

 

Since it's not moving, I guess it's the snail's love dart (I'm not sure if nerites used those) or reproductive organ
