This morning I went into the kitchen and when I flipped on the lights I saw a snail on the back of the tank, with no shell. I believe it's one of my Margarita snails, as I can only see 4 of the 5. It scurried (as fast as snails do) behind the rocks where I couldn't see it. Looks fairly flat, about the size of an index finger nail. It had the antennas in the front.
Can these things survive outside their shell? I did move some rock around Sunday when I did my water change and tried to be careful not to stack/pin any snails in. Maybe I wedged it and it couldn't move with the shell. Or maybe the hermits evicted it. I do have lots of shells laying around for them but they have been known to fight among themselves, I assume for shells.
