you sure it's worms???... i think it may be beneficial bacteria or just snail slime that has solidified.. if you'd like take a sponge and clean the shell of the snail.. and report back what you see k?.. goodluck:D
no they move independtly and reatreat into the snail's shell when touched and they can move around the snail's shell.
wow really odd.. do you notice little red heads on them?
no they are completly white
that's really odd... maybe post this thing up in the tanks section, maybe it's some type of pond worm.. sorry i am no help, hopefully someone else comes along and helps
