I find I can always notice when a snail has kicked off. The tank has a bit of an "off" look to it for a few days. If you pull that snail out now before the flesh is all gone, for example ... it will be in your top 5, maybe even top 3 most-foul-smelling things you've ever smelled. It's probably not that great to leave in there. However that said, my tank is littered with snail shells of those that didn't make it, and the tank lives on. I pull them out every few months or I let the urchins pull the shells out of crevasses and then I pick them off the urchins.

UmmMm in a large system a small snail won't do mch but a Mexican turbo snail gets pretty nasty ,I lifted one once that had been left for a long time when I lifted it nothing but black tar came out two days later had a tank crash , not saying t was my snail but they turn pretty ugly. If I were you And ts a bg mexcan turbo I'd take the time to remove it
