So this morning I was looking at my tank like I always do and saw something that floored my my turbo snail was ripped in two??? I have a few hermit crabs who get well fed and are very tiny this turbo snail was only in the tank for a few months happy and to see this I don’t have anything that could have hurt him what happened???

Turbo snails can't turn themselves over so maybe they hermits saw that as weak and decided to kill him. Or more likely they just want his shell.

I agree likely disabled from being flipped over and crabs took advantage

Don't know if you have one in your tank but elegance coral will attack snails
