There are a bunch of stomatella snails in a tank I'm about to tear down. I'd like to transfer the stomatellas to another tank, but I have no idea how to move them without hurting them. Any suggestions?

As long as theyre not extremly small you can gentily pick them up by hand. Dont pull hard they should let go of whatever they're on
