Looks like draining will fix the issue. Phew.

If I remember correctly I don't think anyone ever found out what species these where either!

They are Chinese Mystery Snails, no I do not mean they are a "mystery", that is actually their name. They are an exotic species. I cannot tell you what detrimental impacts they might have, but we would rather not have them around. A fish pox on whoever is transporting them! 
Hedgefield has been drained for dam repairs and some aquatic habitat work. Those snails do not survive out of the water so that should take care of them. But . . . anyone want to bet on how long it takes before someone puts them back in there?
