    Just found a large turbo snail dead in my tank. Do I leave it in there for my electric blue to continue feasting or take it out?

    I would take it out. I use my CUC for the stuff I can't see.

    Forgot to mention it has two feather dusters that actually live in it's shell. Guess that was why I was origanally asking. I called the turbo flower due to the two dusters that stuck out on each side.

    I once had a turbo not move for a couple of days and then came back to life. If it's dead .. you can pull the snail out of the shell and leave the dusters if you want..

    Don't think it is alive, Hermit keeps opening the little "door" and picking at it.

    Good way to find out is to take it out really quick and take a conservative whiff of it.
