Pull it out and wipe away with a soft cloth. NO SOAP OR DETERGENT - use tank water to clean.

WIPE IT WITH SOME FILTER FLOSS IT WORKS A TREAT

I would leave it alone. There's nothing wrong with algae growing on it's shell.

If you wipe to hard, the calcium on it's shell can get scrathced or crack.

Get some shrimp or an Oto cat. I find mine riding around on my snail all the time. Fun to watch too, hehe
