flame scallop ns. turbo snail

[jamiegrl]

my turbo snail fell off the wall and is now lodged in the flame scallop's mouth
the flame scallop can't seem to get him out
should i let the scallop try to expell him (wich i feel is a little doubtful)
or should i help out
how can i even help... the scallop is ancored to the wall

Since the flame scallop will be dead in a month or two I would go ahead and try to save your snail.

Yes try to get the snail out, flame scallops cannot eat anything that large and if the snail doesnt get out it could kill the scallop.

hey the flame scallop has been doing well for 3 months

Unfortunatly they require frequent feedings and for the amount of food offered they dont consume a whole lot of it. So, now your faced with over feeding your tank or slowly starving your scallop. IMO unavoidable in a small tank, and even harder in a large one as they tend to move to places not easily accessible.
