OK I have this thing that was on my turbo snail but now it has fallen off. It was flipped over when I first saw it. It's belly looked like a snails and it look like it had antennes or something moving under. It is shaped like a clam without the bottom part.

if you look on the left side of it you can see it before when it was attached. I'll get some more pictures of tonight when I get home.
Thanks

OK here's the best pictures I could get. So my main question is are they good or bad?

Well it doesn't look like a key hole or a slit or like any of the Lucapina or like any of the others shown. THey don't have mantles ( or they're just not showing them?) They don't have holes on top either.
