If your aquarium snail has left its shell, it could be a sign of stress, illness, or environmental issues such as poor water quality or temperature fluctuations. Snails rely on their shells for protection, so leaving it may indicate severe distress. It's also possible that the snail is in the process of molting, although this is less common. Monitor the water conditions and the snail's health closely, and consider consulting an aquarium expert for further advice.
