looks a bit like hydra to me too. are you target feeding it some kind of snail jello or algea wafers?
i'm concerned about the cichlids. i know some people say cichlids won't bite but they seem to be quite nippy to snails in my tank. aren't you concerned that the babies will start to harass the snail?

What should I do about the hydra?
I didn't try target feeding, but I'll go find some jello.
The jellybeans are very small (1 and 2 month old) and separated in a breeder. As soon as they grow I'll give them away. I already took their parents back to the store, they were too bossy.

I'm a bit confused. I think we are refering to different things. There is some white calcification on the shell and there's also a little hairy thing that seems to be alive (see pic on page 3, red arrow)
Yes, I know. It doesn't look like hydra, unless there are multiple ones very closely grouped together, which seems unlikely.
If the fuzzy thing retreated into a hole then I also vote for freshwater bryozoan. Hydras don't retreat. I doubt the bryozoan will live that long because it probably can't find enough food in your tank.
Very cool snail, I hope it does well for you.
