My snail isn’t eating this white algae when even I have put him right by it. What gives? He’s a nerite snail

Also now that I’m looking at the image what is that little white cylinder lol it’s really tiny in real life so I didn’t see it till the picture.

He kind of has always swam erratically like this when I’m near the tank but I’ve noticed he has re nipped his fins…. I’ve had him 1 month. His fins had actually grew back a ton from when I first got him but I noticed today that they are a tad shredded again :(

Any tips on how to make him less stressed?

And any observations on the way he is swimming?
