You should watch him closely because if he passes you need to remove him quickly. You do not want to foul your tank.

You need to address the underlying factors that have caused his death.

There are lots of diatoms but the only thing I can.think of is low temp (22.2C) I have a horrible heater but my anemone seems fine and the blue licktia seems fine, It can't be water quality because the Lincktia looks healthy and it looks like something bit him

there are lot of reasons why snails dont fair well in tanks. if you got a temperate waters, acclimation and other factors could be the demise of snail. It maybe something that you did or did not do

I have another Trochus and be hasn't moved for a while to but he is in the back I and I cannot see his underside but my nassarius is also fine, both the Trochus did go under my starfish or maybe the brittle star tried to bite them?

Looks like a bloody tank crash because my clownfish are next to the heater and the female is literally sitting on it, the anemones mouth is inflated (Still closed Though) I think the other Trochus moved but I am not sure and the Lincktia is well I do not even know but the urchin seems a little stressed to, I cannot really tell

This guy seems fine but the other guy looks like he is rolling himself up and I think the clowns were just scared

Neither of those snails feet look good.

Would it be a snail virus or did I get something that is not a Trochus? Are all the other inhabitants good?

Not sure but there are heaps of diatoms, in the corners, rock and a bit of the glass, I used a razor blade, There were 20-40ppm of nitrate but I did a 10 Gallon water change
