This is the only snail that has this pink flesh showing. Should I take it back to the LFS? Thanks all

If just purchased- perhaps so
Is it new I assume?
If so , how did you acclimate it and for how long?

all the snails were acclimated together for about 30 minutes. This is the only snail that has a problem.
Snails should have a minimum of one hour acclimation with salinity verified prior to introduction in display
If it crawled out of shell, something stressed it enough to cause it to bail

It is not coming out of it's shell. it has been like this for two weeks or more. In fact it moves all over the rocks like the other snails.

Are you sure it’s not a stomatella snail?
Will look like this:
