Justify this snail death

Isn't that an abalone shell? They're infamous for their death grips.

looks like an abolone to me

I watched you try and twist that thing off the glass while there was water in it. Cool was it a hitchhiker?

That is an Abalone.

Abalone, best removed with a razor blade gently slipped beneath the foot at the halfway/three-quarters way point you can start to pry. Otherwise it is a done deal if you just rip them off, too much muscle damage for them to recover.

Unless the abalone can stretch out to be 7 or 8 inches long, then you just get Anthony to use his hands

Ah, thanks. I know I bought a couple a few years ago. I hope I can find some now as I think it may be a great cleanup for the FO tank.
