Hello everyone.
I just purchased some snails online, which I received yesterday. They were delivered in bags, not moist.
Anyhow, I purchased 3 Turbos, 10 Nassarius, and 10 Cerith.
My problem lies with the Cerith snails.
I acclimated all of them in separate containers, slowly adding tank water over the course of an hour.
Then slowly added all the snails to the tank. Specifically, I slowly let the turbos attach themselves to the glass, I put the Nassarius and the Cerith on the sand. Although, the Cerith I put right near the glass.
It is now the next day. The turbo's are fine, the Nassarius are fine, although the Cerith have NOT MOVED, except for 1 who's near the top of the aquarium.
The rest of the Cerith have stayed hiding in their shell exactly where I put them. I can't tell if they're dead or not, since they are in their shells not moving.
Is there something I did wrong? Are they sensitive to warm tanks? My tank was at 84.7 when I added 'em all yesterday, although the rest of the snails are fine.
Another question...
I have a Green Brittle star, and about 15 small blue let hermits in the tank as well. This morning, I found the star wrapping a leg around one of the turbos, specifically between the turbo's foot and shell.. Should I be concerned?
Also, I'm worried about the Cerith as I mentioned above, especially with the hermits that I have (apparently, they love cerith shells)...
I have a 20 sump/fuge. I just put in the caulerpa in it 6 days ago, and the pod population is just starting to grow. Should I put the brittle star and the crabs down in there? Or will they wreak havoc on the pod population?
OR should I just get rid of the brittle star?
What about the hermits? My cleanup crew is now:
~15 blue leg hermits
5 Margarita snails
3 Turbos
10 Nassarius
10 Cerith, of which only 1 is moving
1 Tigertail cuke that I havn't seen in 4 weeks.
What do I do????
