    must be a huge snail do you have a picture? looks like he is going for a ride lol If you do have to get him to release use a air line under his foot.

    Yeah but I'm afraid the Turbo will smash him between rocks or carry him to the top of the water line and having the anemone out of the water. Problems to me for the anemone

    if its just a hitch hiking anemone dont worry about keeping every one youll get tons, just like starfish and hermit crabs.

    what kind of anemone is it? it might be a pest like manjano or aptasia and I'd just chunk the snail and be done with it...

    its a bubble anemone. I'm just killing the snail screw it. Im not gonna risk damaging the anemone's foot, it's not worth doing to save a turbo snail.
