Crazy zoa snail

[Haus]

Was given this snail with all these zoas growing on its shell. Pretty crazy. Anyone seen this before or know anything about this? Bizarre.

Yeah that’s what snails do.
they spread corals like Xenia/zoas/aptasia/ green hair algae and bubble algae.
Snails put a piece of the corals and place them somewhere else on the tank.

Funny because I’ve had one type of zoa polyp pop up in a few areas in my rockwork that I don’t recall ever having. Oddly, this same type of zoa is on this snail that I just put in two days ago. Picture of it is below. Not sure what it would be called. Interesting turquoise/light blue/silver color with a speckle pattern.
The snail also has two Rasta polyps mixed in, which is nice.
