snail question
Today i put about 10-12 snails into my tank along with some hermit crabs to help clean up a little bit, the hermits are all over the place but the snails arent moving much pretty much in the same spot as when i put them in the tank i made sure they are all facing down so they can move around, is this normal?

It is normal for some snails to remain inactive for a short period of time after initial acclimation. If they dont start moving by the end of the day then I might be concerned. Although some people have seen them be inactive for as long as 24 hours after initial acclimation.
What kind of snails?

Mine dont get real active until the halides go off and actinics are on.
