Many thanks for the replies! It moves exactly like that in the water. 😄 I found a picture similar to it after searching for "freshwater leeches". Thank you for putting me on the right track.

Hello! I just received a few freshwater snails for breeding, and this little guy was a stowaway. Any idea of what this might be? I asked the breeder, but he was very surprised at the size and presence of this thing on the snails, and did not know what it could be. I thought it might be planaria, but cannot find a picture online to help me ID it. It "walks" head to toe like a cartoon inch worm and has brown lines down the back. It was on the side of a snail, laying flat out like a piece of paper against the shell. Looks like it has organs inside of it. Any help is much appreciated!

Yes, I believe it to be Caulerpa prolifera now. My mistake was believing a pic app and some Google images over walking, talking (experienced) people here answering my question lol *facepalm* 🤦‍♀️ Many thanks to you guys for helping me out with this one. 💜 Especially Odd Duck. Though, now I know who I may go to for some other questions haha 😁😇 I was just kind of taken in with the look of this particular plant and really wanted to learn enough about it to bring some home. I have a feeling it is a lot smaller than I imagine, though.

Ty guys! I will concentrate on those specifics in my continued search. 😊

hehe Yes I went the plant ID photo apps, too. It is not Caulerpa prolifera, though.

🙂 'Ello! Does anyone know what the name of this plant is, by chance? I saved a screenshot from an aquarium plants search, but have lost all other info on it. Any help would be greatly appreciated! 😊

Hello guys! 🙋‍♀️ Nice to meet you. I actually own said "clown puke" gravel (lol). But, you are right, it is not a good look for a pretty, planted tank like the one you ended up with. 👍 Kudos!
