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?
 
Just grab them with tongs?I was worried about not being able to get a good grip on their little helmets lol

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
