These types of snails can't tip themselves back over so you will need to do so, it's trying to reach for something to grab ahold of.

It will die if you don't flip it back over, they are amazing cleaners but do require a little extra attention

did you try flipping it back over
Yes i did try to flip it over. Even tried to put it on the rock and the glass wall, but it fell off. It feels like it doesnt have suction power. Like now its on its side and just... ill film it.

I took it out from the tank in a little jar. At least all the snail went all the way in the shell now. It didnt before. We will see.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Just pop him back into the tank with the opening to his shell facing down and he will be just fine, no need to pull him from the tank :)
