I was cleaning out my sump and noticed a decent size stomatella in my filter pad, I went to relocate it and as I picked it up it's entire back end popped off and started wiggling on it's own, like how a lizards tail will fall off. The stomatella is fine and seems to have no ill effects from it, but I just thought it was cool and wanted to share. Anybody else see this happen before?
