Baby Snail Question

[hondo]

I have dozens of baby snails in both of my reef tanks. They are all over the glass and I am wondering if anyone knows if these baby snails (the size of a lead pencil tip) are knocked off the glass by my cleaning magnet can they right themselves or do they die if they fall on their back. They are so small once they fall into the sand they are next to impossible to see. I would hate to be killing some of them when I clean the glass.

I'd like to know if big snails eat them on accident. SOme of mine are disapearing.

i've had the snails before and all of them (the luckey ones)right themselves up in the sand but almost all of them get cought or squished in the magnet and die. hope this helps!

alot of snail species cannot right themselves and die. i just let the snails clean the glass and i have retired my magnets so i dont hurt the babies

I think fish eat baby snails to, before the shell gets hard.
