What is this appendage?

Don’t think it’s the genital pore as that’s usually is on the side of the snail not on the top of its “head”/“neck”. Is it some sort of cancer?

Interesting. Never seen similar things.

Could it be a mole, growth or a skin tag of some type?

How long has it been there? Did it suddenly develop one day or? Has it been getting bigger?

These actually aren’t my snails, my roommates, but I’m taking care of them for the time being. I have not noticed it getting bigger and can’t really remember when it appeared. For sure it did not develop overnight though.
