Question Moving Reef tank Turbo won't let go?

Hi,
I emptied my reef tank to give to my nephew. Everything is out except
one giant turbo snail. It stuck itself at the top in a corner and won't move!
I just tried RO on it did nothing. Afraid of twisting or pulling to hard.
Any suggestions? He been in the tank for over 5 years and doesn't want to leave
even without water in it?.
Thank you!
Larry

Get a fingernail or if you don't have one, edge of credit card, gently under his skirt and loosen him that way. Just getting a tiny bit loose will help de-cling him. I had to do that with a couple of monster snails, and they're fine.
