Somehow I have a snail that has grown to be larger than a half dollar. Shell is about the size of an MP-40. I will be rehoming him to my new tank build. Looking for ideas on how to remove this guy from the glass without hurting him. Thanks John.
 
wiggling it back and forward it will detach
 
A gentle poke in the soft tissue just under the shell with something should get it to retract and let go. Nothing too pointy, maybe a plastic spudger, some aquarium tongs, or perhaps the handle end of a piece of cutlery.
