tip of shell broken off.... help!!

[vicki]

I was bathing Gary tonight and the tip of his shell has broken off ..... just recently he has been falling off the top of his tank alot and landing onto his point and im guessing its just took too many knocks and now broken off with the latest fall ............ im now in the process of adding more substrate to his tank to pad it out if he does keep falling but is this fall fatal for him??? Will he dry up inside and die? He's lost a whole swirl!!!!

I'd really appreciate any help and advice! i've rinsed him for now to get any muck out .....

p.s ... i cant actually find the tip in the substrate.
