Snail with rear proboscis?

Just noticed a rear appendage on my snail. Black with mouth. It looks like it was feeding. Rear proboscis or parasite?

Yikes, I can see why so few people run quarantine tanks. I just did another 50% water change and added some Alpha so I'll see how it looks in the morning. Thanks marie.

Search the web for tank design and "safety factor". I think for most tanks you want a 2 - 3 safety factor but for rimless I've read 7 - 9. This is from memory though.
