Is this a bad hitchiker?

[grantn]

This came off a clam I got today. I noticed it and removed it with a turkey baster. I think I'll flush it since I'm not too sure. If anyone has seen these before and know what they some information would be appreciated.

Looks like a bunched-up stomatella. Snail like, small shield shell on back, long antennae?

Yes, exactly. It was about 1/8". It was the first time I've seen one so I didn't want to take a chance. Next time I seen one I'll leave it alone.

That pic doesnt look like a Stomatella. But if it is they are very good cleaners. I had them as an exclusive cleaning crew in one of my nano's maybe 5-6 in one tank and they kept multiplying. They can haul *** too for a snail..
