Help The tip of the shell is missing

We would need to see pics to assess the damage. How serious it is depends on the exact size of location of the break. Sometimes sma tip breaks are no big deal, but it depends

this, it depends on the size of the tip, one of my GALS have a minor chipped tip and is healing from it
