What is this snail doing? I’m terrified

My baby ramshorn snail that I randomly found in my tank a few days ago is hanging from this weird water thread? It’s coming kind of far out of it’s shell and I’m kinda freaked out. I’m not prepared for snail suicide. Also don’t really want more baby snails if this has anything to do with reproduction. There’s definitely some ammomia in the tank since it’s a fry tank and there’s uneaten food as well as snail poop. I was about to clean it when I saw this. Im going to clean it right after posting this

I'm not entirely sure what's happening - did you snap a photo, by chance?

Ramshorns are a great tankmate, as they'll eat up missed food, and generally overpopulation is an indicator of overfeeding, so if you end up with a thousand of them, that's why. Cutting back on feeding will reduce (and maintain) their population to a more manageable level if you ever see a population boom.

I added a pic, sorry it’s not the best. I don’t plan on keeping the ramshorn snails since I don’t have room for them in my main tank. (I already have a BN pleco and 2 nerites eating algae). I just have them in my fry tank since there’s a lot of uneaten food.

Are you sure it’s not a piece of your hair or a family members hair that fell into or was blown into the tank? I had a mystery snail do this when I was floating moss on a tank in a net so it didn’t wander the tank and the net had a piece of my hair on it.

That’s what I though but when I moved the snail and whatever it was into a container it didnt look like that. The snail is fine now, so I’m just gonna ignore it
