What's this on snail's shell?

I've been keeping a close watch on my snails and found one with this thing on it. Can anyone help me identify what this brown thing is and if it is something to be concerned about? Thank you!!

My snails have some brown tube worms on them. Kind of look like that but with a clear tube stretching out.

The round lighter brown one has a hole, but I haven't seen any worm. The small darker thing I can really tell much about.

Looks like a vermeted snail living on the other snails back to me... I've got a few that ride on my snails backs as well

It looks more like a sponge IMO, but a Vermetid snail is definitely a possibilty too though. How does it feel to the touch, hard or soft?
