Snail out of Shell?

[Rigoberto]

I did not think this was possible, but a snail in my tank appears to have left the shell. There is an empty "mexican turbo" shell a few inches from this critter. Has anyone seen something like this before?

No but it won’t last long . It’s basically fish food now .

I'm guessing you have hermits? I've seen them rip the shell off of snails plenty but never seen a snail live for any length of time after.

That’s wild, did you get any other pictures? I just.. can’t look away. But actually, did you?
