Is my trochus dead ?!

[ngbski_]

It hasn’t been too long that it looks retracted like this, maybe from this morning and now it’s 3pm but I can’t even confirm since the morning because I fed my fish then just didn’t pay attention to my Trochus. But yea it just looks a little weird to me it always has its body against the glass a lot and maybe it’s a dumb question because it’s still attached to the glass but let me know fam

It's alive, wouldn't be on the glass if he was dead.

They usually graze most at night. During the day they’ll stay in one place most of the time. At night you’ll see it munching and moving. Leave it and it’ll be fine.

He's alive...if attached to glass, he's still kicking. If upside down on the sand bed, probably on his way out. If upside down on the sand bed, taking him out and giving a little sniff will definitely tell you if he is dead. They really stink when they die.
