The crack will not naturally heal if it affects more than just the top layer of the shell AND if it affects the opening of the shell. The snail's shell grows from the top of the opening (where the body comes out), so if there is any damage to that area, cracks will just keep getting bigger as the snail grows.

Entemnotrochus rumphii, common name the Rumphius' slit shell, is a species of large sea snail with gills and an operculum, a marinegastropodmollusk in the family Pleurotomariidae, the slit snails.[2]
Distribution[edit]
This marine species occurs off Japan, Taiwan and the Philippines.[3]
Description[edit]
The width of this large gastropod shell is 130–285 mm.[3] The shell has a broadly conoid shape with a convex base. It ismoderately umbilicated, the umbilicus penetrating to the apex. It is a little plicated within by the prominent growth lines. The color is yellowish-white, with flames of orange or carmine red, and light violet, particularly developed on the body whorl. The apex is eroded andyellow. The number of whorls is uncertain, probably between 11 and 13. The whorls are visibly convex and divided into nearly equal portions bythe slit fasciole, which is a little above the middle. The sculpture is composed of oblique, radiating striae, more prominent on the upper whorls. The base of the shell is almost smooth, with a slight stride of growth and very fine concentric lines. The nacreous aperture is obliquely quadrangular. The basal margin is continuous with the columella, and is not angulated at its junction with it.[4]
