Neato, I have a snail with one of these little hitchhikers as well. Was never sure whether it was part of the big guy or a separate animal. It's also located near the base of the host snail and has black flesh from what I can see. I've had the snail for some time and it doesn't seem to be suffering any ill effects, in fact it's grown quite a bit.

the parasitic snails you're thinking of are called whelks. they look a bit like nassarius snails.
the attached snails from the OP's tank are called slipper snails. harmless. they're just hitching a ride on the bigger guy.
