My mystery snail has a crack down the front of its shell I thought it would close as it grew but it seems to be getting bigger is there anyway I can fix it for the snail?

Hi and welcome :) some snail's that have had damage to the shell can't repair and the crack can get bigger. What's your ph? Adding calcium to the tank can help, I use cuttlebone and calcium blocks, I also feed calcium rich food kale and spinach, hikari crab cuisine is also good. Could you post a picture?

55 gallon elephant nose tank.
16 gallon vampire shrimp and snails
 
I'm not sure what my ph level is I did add some calcium and cuttle bones yesterday. I can't quite seem to figure out how to post a picture because all I have is my arc......
