Noticed transparent strings like, like the woman the sponges use to feed on this snail, any body have any idea what might it be? Thanks

Not sure I entirely understood the sentence under the pic, but it looks like an astrea snail whose shell is being colonized by some sort of sponge.

Sorry bud yea my question was about the pointy transparent thing growing out of the shell which is becoming pink as well

Something other than the sponge siphons? Sorry, I'm not sure what you're asking about.

All of the pink stuff on the snail is part of the sponge.

Lmao sorry bud, my English sucks, my gf says it is a clear cylinder like on the pink side of the pink cover shell, hope that helps

I think I see what he's refering too, if you look on the left side of the snail, there's three transperant tunicate like structures, and one tunicate like tube in the center of the coraline like surface facing the camera. I don't know if those are tunicates growing on coraline or sponge siphons though.

Unless that isn't what you're refering to..

Looks like sponge siphons to me.

Yeah, I agree. People often see things in these pictures that I can't, so I didn't want to assume. But I don't see anything but siphons.
