Poor snail

[Sgooosh]

Hi, I have a snail and his thing on his back is getting worse
I have corals and I added a handful into the 75gallon
What should I do

It's just shell deterioration, which is common in softer water.

the calciums will fix it right? (or it will stay that way but snale will be fine (snale is his name)

Epic name. I think the calcium’s should fix it but I am not sure. Snale should be fine though, I’ve seen snails survive without shells before.

There was thread on here somewhere where a person had a snail without a shell, it was totally normal and acted fine. I will try to find it.

Yes. Adding cuttlebone or crushed coral will raise the hardness levels, which should fix it. (Don’t expect any crazy re-grow, but it will positively affect its offspring)
