DudE31 Posted October 10, 2014 Share Posted October 10, 2014 Had my new tank set up for about 4 months now, only a small ten gallon. I recently did a water change ~20% parameters; ammonia 0 nitrites 0 nitrates <5ppm. All other inverts in my tank and fish seem to be fine. One of my astrea snails fell off the glass a couple hours after the water change. It has since been motionless for the last two days and I placed him on the rocks and it still hasn't moved. Im assuming it is dead/dying ? anyone have any thoughts? Link to comment
Paleoreef103 Posted October 10, 2014 Share Posted October 10, 2014 Not necessarily, sometimes they're lazy and don't move for a while. They are pretty helpless if they're on their side however. Link to comment
CronicReefer Posted October 10, 2014 Share Posted October 10, 2014 It could still be alive but one of my trochus snails died the exact same way you just described. Just smell it and you will know. Link to comment
DudE31 Posted October 10, 2014 Author Share Posted October 10, 2014 i had to remove him from the tank, going away for a couple of days, he was completely retracted for the last two days and even when removed there was no hint of life, it didnt smell yet but i dont want to risk it decaying while im gone Link to comment
