What up with my Snail?

Capsle · 10/27/2016, 07:48 PM

Hey Reefer,

Been a while since I posted here.

Not sure what's going on with one of my snails.

For the last 2 weeks or so it's been acting weird, as far as Snail behavior goes.

He keeps flipping himself on his back on purpose, even as soon as I flip him back on his foot. It then looks like he's trying to escape his shell. I'm not sure why.

Any ideas?

Snails aren't the brightest. I've had ones go up the side of the tank and sit out of the water and dry up and die.
