Tylomelania snail parasite
Look at an odd creature I’ve removed from my Sulawesi Tylomelania sp. Yellow snail today.
There were two red ‘dots’ moving along snail body.
I took out the snail from a tank, kept it head-down and waited until it put out her body. Then I fast catch a parasite with a tweezers.
The second created started to move along snail body and it was harder to catch.
It’s red, has funny grabbers and in about 1.5mm in size. Look at the pictures.

I keep them in a box with water. Look how they move 
Please, help me with getting its name.

According to Thomas von Rintelen (with Humboldt University, researching Tylomelania snails in situ), this is a Temnocephala, a commensal that sometimes leaves the crabs it usually lives on and attaches itself to snails. Harmless.
