Hey guys, I got 4 zombie snails about 2 weeks ago, but ever since i added the there was 1 that was super slow and just didn’t react to food and didn’t bury himself, he’s still alive today but i just say my halloween crab about to grab him right out and eat him. I have him in a cup with tank water and food, he moves about 1% speed. Is there anything I can do or is he probably a goner? When I feed the tank the other 3 respond instantly while he sits in the sand and doesent extend his tube. Just wondering if what I should do because I dont want a big ammonia spike overnight.

I would have in in a small container in the tank with holes since the cup will just kill him
i am replacing the water every 15 mins, he just hasn’t been acting normal ever since i added him and i think he is on his last leg, the halloween crab was just about to eat him until i got involved last second
