Dead Turbo snail

[Mikef1]

Well unfortunately I didnt put the intake guard on my maxi jet and one of my mexican turbos fell victim to it . Of course it fell behind all my rock work where I cant get to it. Do you guys think this will cause any problems with an amonia spike or will the hermits take care of it.

Thing says you have a 90g tank if so then there should not be a ammonia spike (or do you have ammonia already?).

No I dont have any amonia right now.

Well I don’t think there should be any need to take it out IMO.

Are you sure it is dead?

Even if it has died, I do not think that it will cause a spike.

Your hermit crab will have a nice supper..that what happen to mine.. if your hermit is big enough, might found a new home too.

It takes a lot more than this to spike a tank of that size. A turbo can die in a 20 gallon with no ill effect.

I was able to reach my hand in a crack to get him out anyways. Thanks for all the input.
