weird invert on crab shells
 
on my orange hermit crabs shell are a couple cone like shaped hitch hikers on it, they don't seem to move, but i've seen like little tentacles come out from under it. any ideas what they are?

Sound like barnacles to me.

I believe it is a slipper snail. I tried to find some good pictures of one but this was the best I could get.

I have one, on one of my astrea snails. The link says they are white, but mine is covered in coraline.
