Snail came out of shell

[motionless]

This exact same thing just happened to me. I posted at reef central and everyone who replied had never seen it happen before. Searched the whole internet ( i swear) and just happened to find this thread. Well I do have pics, and the super tongan nass is still alive (2 days later).

You can see the abandoned shell in the background.

All I can say is: WTF.

 

If it lives, that'll be freakin' sweet.

 

Also, regarding the naysayers: You just got served.

hey did your nassarius make it after he did that? Mine has been acting strange after he ditched his shell. He's moving around on the surface a lot more than he used to...
