Awesome snail! Be prepared for the snail poop but that's all part of the fun with snails :tongue: my Opae ulas pick it up and eat at it :sick: :sick: :tongue:

Good move, sometimes they cannot correct them selfs.

Mine do sit and dont move for a good several hours but when i first introduced them to brackish water from fresh (when i purchased them) they didnt move for half a day or so.If your snail doesn't move in a day or 2 I would think it died. If you want to be sure put it back in fresh water and see if it moves again.

Out of the 12 Nerites i purchased 2 died when they went into brackish water, so dont feel bad as some just dont make it.

Unfortunately the snail did not move last night either. Removed it from the tank today and it was definitely dead. Will probably try again further down the line. Right now the algae problem isn't as bad as it was before anyway.
