Alive Trochus but not moving

[Joseph_Joe]

Hi all,

I added 2 Trochus to my tank a week ago. Both are coming from the same tank of the supplier and got acclimated together. However, one of the Trochus seems to be not moving or eating. He is alive as I can see him extend some parts of body parts but his mouth is not. When I move him somewhere else, he always goes to the deepest level and stand still, stuck to the glass.
Is it normal if he is doing that for a week ?
I think he is eating somehow, I don't think he can survive fasting a whole week. My other Trochus however are eating for like 75% of the Time.
Thanks in advance.

hi, most trochus are nocturnal eating machines.

I agree, but other trochuses move over time. He seem stuck in that deep position. I am just a little nervous that since he is in range of any hermit crab, they may consider him as their next meal...

Crabs smell death from every corner of the tank. They should leave him alone unless he dies.

Update: I found him being eaten by one the crabs after coming back from work. Sad end
