Basically what the title says. I got off of work, take a look at my shrimp tank, and notice that there is a shelless snail in my tank, with an empty nerite snail. The craziest part is that it is still moving around like normal, and is pretty far from its shell. what is going on?

    Mantle collapse 🙁

    Possibly a previous fall or it was picked up while still attached to the glass.

    It’s the end for the snail.

    i hope he survives!! i had this happen to one of mine and he passed a month later. i wonder if there’s any that can live years longer after?

    I am so sorry but my first thought was *GOOD GRIEF HE’S NAKED!*

    but I am sorry for your loss

  4. Honestly, it’s time to euthanize. Crushing the body quickly and completely is the most humane way. It’s (with no doubt) in agony.
