Trochus Snail lost its shell

[Peach02]

So I've had this snail since the day I added live rock and he's been going strong ever since but I ****** up today
I was trying to stabilise a rock before it fell on somthing and saw the snail sitting right under it so I'm like okay your in danger I need to move you
I went to move him grabbed the shell and pulled and the shell came off but left the snail behind
I've moved the snail to a makeshift quarentene and have a air pump and a little food in there for him, Ive put him back into the shell and confirmed he is alive but he is hurt. Does anyone know what to do?

Any advice or help is greatly appreciated

Not much you can do but provide the best environment possible and hope for the best. It’s my understanding that snail shells are attached by tendons and if they break it’s bad news for the snail.

Do you think there is hope for recovery / that the makeshift quarentene is okay

I have never seen this happen. I hope he makes it.

I would imagine there’s nothing to be done. It will most likely not survive

I have read that if there is a small amount of shell left on the tendon and there are no internal injuries from the shell being tore free there is a chance the shell may regrow.

Ideally a quarantine tank should have filtration and stable parameters such as temp and salinity which will be difficult with that small makeshift container you set up.

Update I burried him today as he looked dead thismorning and if he was alive he wouldn't be able to fend off hermit crabs so I put him out of his misery
