Could this be caused by low calcium? I'm not sure but I've posted another thread that had my parameters and they said that my calcium and magnesium was a little low but I should be fine for what I have in the tank. These were Fridays readings.

Ammonia 0ppm
Nitrite 0 - 0.01ppm
Nitrate 3.5ppm
Phosphate 0.015 or 0
Alkalinity 7.7 DKH
P.H. 8.15
Calcium 360ppm
Magnesium 1125ppm
Salinity (S.G.) 1.024
Temperature (F) 78.5 - 79
T.O.R. I believe it is 24.5 1625508505569374689121090046374.jpg

I think you are fine. 360 and 1125 is a little low, but the snails don't care as much as corals. They need the Alk and Cal to grow their shell, but at a much much slower consumption rate than corals.

Look here is a pic of 2 or them one looks darker than the other one, I'm trying to figure out why? Like the actual meat of the snail.
