Oh well... at least *someone* got a good laugh at me! Namely other member of staff... nearly collapsed laughing at me...
Im well known for stupid incidents... like accidentally plumbing up the sandbed filter... the wrong way round and pumping the whole lot of sand over the coral vat... and 3 hurs later after fixing it... doing it again!
But this time i think i hit a new low! LOL
I turned on the tank lights and after walking past it a few times, i looked closer and got really confused and then worried! I saw what looked the me to be either a dead or dying snail without a shell!
Now... i can see some of you might have guess what it is already...
In my defense, i have what i thought was a rogue snail which turns out is a type of snail munching whelk and i cant catch the begger! So i thought the whelk had attacked again and pulled a turbo out of its shell...
It was really writhing and squirming as if it looked in pain....
I was running around like a headless chicken trying to think if i could save it! So what did i do? I put in a few empty shells next to it and hoped for the best!
(i swear it looks like a naked turbo!)
After about 10 minutes its writhing was even more frantic and it was looking really miserable for itself...
When i had a bit of a "lightbulb turned on" moment....
And used a longhandled algae pad to flip the snail over... only to realise it was a really stupid Stomatella that had fallen off the glass and got well and truely stuck on its back!!
Im such an eejit!! I love the Stomatella, if they were out more, i would just have a tank full!!
He is happily mooching about now! Good job i feel the need to take photos of my stupidity then isnt it!!
Im a loony!
