Alright. Whose baby is this? Found on glass... appears to have an elongated super tiny red shell. This thing is micro ~ literally 1/16th of an inch. Has antennaes.

Hitchhiker? Good / Bad? Snails getting busy? Known tank inhabitants (all new within last month) ~ 2 Astrea snails, 1 Nassarius, 1 Mexican Turbo,

Any chance you could pull the snail out in a container of tank water and get some fairly close up pics of it under white light? (Pics of the top, sides, and bottom are generally the most helpful here).

Not sure on this one honestly - generally, eggs are about the only things snails leave on glass in our tanks, but this looks really really small/patchy for eggs.
