The piece in the drain is screwed into the drain under the tub It is usually corroded and is not going to unscrew. You can use a sawsall or jig saw to cut the drain in 3 or 4 places around the opening and peel the piece out. You can also disconnect the drain under the tub and just leave it on the tub. There should be access to the back side of the tub. Usually a panel or door in the back of a closet that is in the room beside the bath. If there is no access, you will need to make one so that you can connect the drain to the new tub.

Can a snake come up a drain?
== == == == == == If you have an open septic tank or broken sewage pipe anything that crawls can get into your toilet or bath tub or sinks. You can buy a special trap device to keep all creepy crawlers out of your sewage pipes. The device lets the water out but it won't let the critters in. Keep a tub screen on the drain in your tub to reduce spiders from coming into your bath tub.I have seen a snake come out of my own toilet. Spiders come up out of the bath tub drain all of the time. I live in the woods. You can expect the unexpected when you live in a forest.
What does it mean if your toliet is clogged and water is coming up through the tub and shower drain?
It means that your main drain line is clogged downstream from where your drain from your tub ties into your toilet drain and the problem can be a hundred of different reasons. The first thing I would check is your clean out (if you have/find one) outside of your home usually within 2 to 5 feet from your outside wall. If you do find the clean out then take off the clean cover and see if your clean out pipe is full of sewage ( becareful of taking off clean out cover because it might have a lot of pressure behind it if clogged) If you can not find a clean out then if possible wait till the tub drains and then use a shop vac to vacuum out the toilet and then pull the toilet and snake down the toilet drain or if you find a clean out then snake down the clean out. When you run a snake down the clean out or toilet drain if possible run water down it too while you snake the drain line. Most drain lines do not plug up if they are plumbed in right which means have the right grade and have the right fittings so back to your question this could be possible that you have a problem in your drain line and I would (after you clear the line) check it with a camera other wise you might have to snake out your drain line often.
