i have about 6 astrea snails in my tank, they have been in for 2 weeks or so now, been happy muching on algae all day for most the time up until now, they start falling off the rocks daily, so i turn them over so they can keep moving, but they fall again, eventually they either die or the hermits have a feast on them.
any idea what causes this?? the tank is cleaned weekly, 2 gallon water change, fresh filter and carbon, clean the glass etc. everything is consistant no sick fish, the cleaner shrimp just molted and is doing great, so nothing is seemingly out of whack.
i have 2 other snails not astreas, maybe nerite? that were in the chaeto i bought and they are doing great still, and grown over 2x the size they were when i got them in the same 2 week period.
