Sounds like there may be yummies growing back there between the substrate and glass?

Possible! My nerites love to dig on the substrate and eat from there while sticking to the glass. Sometimes they take a nap there too, half buried.

Seems that's what is happening @Lennie and @Guppysnail.  He's dug a little more and now he's digging down on a diagonal too.  He picked the gunkiest area in the tank, under the PFS.  Stuff collects there between weekly maintenance.

He ain’t grazing anything. He is a rebel.

He likes his food served. :D

Today Kratos went on an adventure, halfway up the wall!  Aaaaaaandd then as soon as I started tank maintenance, he went back to the sand. ☹️  Seems he scares very easily. Well, at least he’s doing ok.

He’s right by the leaf now, so easy snacks.

I think he might be stressed and maybe lost his antenna or something when he was bullied. This might be causing him to be scared of opening.

I would personally leave him alone and let him feel safe and comfy for some time, and make sure nothing disturbs him even us as humans. I think trying to move him may cause more stress, cause both being bullied by tank mates and changing tanks are stress factors anyway. As there is no way to cure snails anyway, I would just let it do whatever he wants to do

Hope your lil friend does better soon and there is nothing to worry about

That seems to be the only thing we can do cause I have 6 & Moved 
them to redo the tank & had them in a 10 gal for a few days & moved 
3 to 1 tank & 3 to another tank & after 24 hrs. 2 hasn't moved since I 
put them in the tanks, & reading your response I have to agree.

Kratos decided to give exploring another shot. He moved 2” up the wall! (That’s far for this shy fellow.)

I sometimes relate to this guy too much

I wonder what hubby will say when I tell him I’m not cleaning the house this week because I’ve become an energy conservationist?

Kratos started a new movement.

Kratosism 🤣

All followers shall conserve energy.

Too lazy to have any other rules.

-THE END-
