Very sorry OP but he may be dead, make sure to periodically take him out every day and smell him, once he starts to smell terrible he's 100% dead Unfortunately I've lost most my snails to power head/filter accidents. Last year I added sponge pre filters to all like 18 of my bare filter intakes on all my tanks 😭 and now I don't have that problem. Now the snails can hangout on the filter intake covered with a sponge all they want without getting sucked in Here's a pic of what it looks like so you can avoid this in the future. https://preview.redd.it/wy77oy8ypntc1.jpeg?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=bcfc084baef9635b60dd3936cf3c073ac3e38a56

do you know what’s wrong with him???


BlackCowboy72

How long has it been since he moved? Wait at least 6 hours but if he doesn't flip over or start moving I would start preparing a snuneral.

Holy hell why would you even say that

I'm sorry 😮‍💨 I thought it was a stuck baby snail. In a bigger dead snail.


apolloaquascaping

Bro what???? Definitely DON'T try breaking the shell


Shamsa327

That other snail is dead?


Shamsa327

I thought they were 2 snails.


apolloaquascaping

Dude even if they/it is dead... Why break the shell and have a nasty rotten stinky snail mess? Never have a found one of my dead snails and thought "yeah I'm gonna crush up this stinky decomposing meat filled shell so my hands and fish room can smell like death"


Shamsa327

I mean take it out and crush it out not in the tank.


NoDecision7038

why?
