My snail seems to be freshly dead, but before I was about to take him out I noticed small red bugs. Any idea what that might be?

I’m not quite sure, probably some sort of small crustacean that eats decaying matter. Almost like a fly or a gnat that swarm dead things

Alright we’ll go with under water gnat, that’s funny 😆

Those little red critters might be some kind of scavenger shrimp or amphipods feeding on the snail’s shell. Sometimes they show up when a snail is weak but before cleanup crews fully take over. Hope your snail pulls through!

Interesting and thanks! Good place to start doing some research on those
