I am not going to reinvent the wheel on this one. Applesnail.net has a wonderful article on apple snail diseases (mystery snails are Spiked Top Apple Snails).
The mystery snail in the featured image suffered slow progress shell erosion due to pH swings and low alkalinity (KH).
All land snails and aquatic snails have shells that are made up of calcium carbonate. Without enough calcium in their diet, their shells are thin and prone to fracturing. They also seem to need higher amounts of calcium to breed well. Water conditions such as soft water or Ph swings can also cause shell erosion. For this reason all aquatic snails do better in hard water rather than soft.
The pink ramshorn snail on the left, in the photo above, had free access to calcium supplements in its aquarium. The snail on the right did not have access to the calcium it needed and the shell damage is obvious.
