Try touching it to see if it moves, but yes I'd take it out before it stinks up your tank.

Smell it... not trying to be gross... it's a DEAD giveaway

definitely was a dead snail. But if a dying/dead snail causes a bunch of problems in your tank, the underlying problem is much more than the dead snail. Any but probably the tiniest of tanks should not be affected at all by that snail dying.

+1 :lol2:

best to get rid of it fast unless you have other cuc to clean it up.

You shouldn't see any problems unless there is a problem that killed the snail in the first place. When I say stink up your tank I mean dead snails stink bad.
