Wow a long lived thread. I remember posting this on an older thread, the biggest kasha on the snail, and any snail, is the melocho of kosheir. The issur of tying is because for the mishkan they needed to tye nets with which to catch the chilazon. You don’t need a net to catch a snail. There is however, another snail contender, a small blue striped specimen that floats at the surface in large colonies, that would be harvested, theoretically with nets.
