Something strange in my tank?

Hi everyone! Today I woke up and found this tiny little worm-like creature attached to the side of my 10 gallon freshwater platy tank. Any ideas on what it is? Is it harmful?

I think it's a snail...it has a hard shell. I removed it and put it in water...should I put it back in my tank?

Yep, it's a ramshorn snail totally harmless, I actually keep these in all my tank's.

Cool! It must have hitched a ride on my Marimo moss balls.
