What is growing on my snail?????

Just saw this red jelly looking sac around my snails shell today. WHAT IS IT???

That stuff looks like cyano to me.

Only on one snail? So course of action should be to remove the snail and clean him off? I have no other red algae like that in my tank only the hard stuff that grows on the walls.

+1 on cyno. It's a bacteria and is shielded by the slime. Could be the bacteria hasn't spread anywhere else yet.
