What kind of snails are they? How long did you acclimate them for?

Are they sleeping?
 How did you acclimate them? Also, what is your current water chemistry?

Define "Chemistry is perfect." Also, snails need more acclimation time than fish. All inverts do. It's recommended to drip acclimate snails for at least 2 hours.

Are they attached to the glass or laying in the substrate? I'm assuming the other snails you have are Cerith snails...
