How to remove snail from glass or live rocks without damaging it?

Hi all,

I am wondering how we can safely remove snails from the glass or live rocks without damaging it? I tried to remove them but they are like not letting go, and I do not dare to force pull it as I am afraid I might damage it and kill it..

Anyone have any idea how to safely make them go into their shell and make it easy to lift them up?

The snail I am referring to is this type of snail(refer to link below)..

The reason I want to move them is I am afraid one day if I happen to run out of algae for them to eat in my main display tank, I will move them to the sump as there are lots of algae in there for them to feed on..

I tried to tap on them... although they redraw, their lower part still sticks, only the eyes and mouth part move in.. Maybe I will try to irritate it even more and try to apply some little force to make it come loose.. hope I don't damage it and kill it..
