Just noticed this this afternoon whilst feeling…is this a turbo snail that’s disregarded it’s shell? Must say I’m a bit flummoxed thanks in advance!

Is it acting normally? I’ve never seen that before
Yeah, “moving” much the same. It’s fairly stationary, as normal, but there is movement. It doesn’t seem stressed. Tbh, never seen the innards of a turbo so not sure!
 
If it is a shell-less snail, then it'll probably die soon, but I don't know for sure:
I know this happens on occasion with freshwater snails, but this is the first I've heard of it with saltwater snails. In freshwater this can happen due to injury or disease, and it seems it's fatal to the snail.
