    Parasite on snail - YouTube

    here is a link to the video, it is kind of hard to see the sweeper on the snail once the video was compressed but it's the best I can do with the phone. I can also email anyone that wants to help the uncompressed video.

    Anyone have any ideas what it may be?


    Thanks

    It is coming out of the black spot on the snail's shell.
