PLEASE HELP (heliacus snails)

[derrell]

I have a Huge rock filled with several different kinds of zoos on it. I found a Heliacus snail on it. I removed the snail but since then my zoo's don't seem to open like they used to. I'm not sure if eggs were laid but I don't see any. is there anything I can do to save this rock?

BTW: my water parameters are within the normal range.

i would look in to a iodine dip , might help find more as well as monitor they day and night looking for others. they are probly stressed from the snail munching down on them and need time to recover.

i've been monitoring it and don't see anymore snails and not sure what the eggs look like but don't see anything that resemble eggs.

Not to jump in here, but can anyone post a pic of this snail. I have seen a few new snails in my tank which seem to have no shell and that I didnt purchase. Perhaps its the reason a small zoa colny was wiped out????

Thanks
