DP with a hitch hiker

I know i shouldn't laugh and this could be a problem/irritant for my poor puffer but it's pretty funny to see.

I'm posting here in case this turns out to be an emergency situation/ causes my dp harm.

Vettel has a snail attached to his face, i'm not sure if the shell is empty and stuck or if it's got a snail still in it. Should i try to remove it? or should i leave it and see where it goes on it's own? if it's an empty shell and it's stuck how on earth do i get it off his face?

I've attached a photo so you can all see.

( i didn't think things like water parameters were necessary in this situation as both puffers in the tank are healthy and happy)

When he gets annoyed enough he will find a way to knock it off

Heehee, don't worry, it'll fall off eventually. I've seen snails and shrimp hitchhike all over my tank by hanging onto each other; I imagine this is no different.
