Got some Turbos, got a question about them

[cam78]

I recently added Turbos to my tank, they are alive, sticking around but they really haven't moved much at all. Do they take time to adjust or are they dieing?

turbo snails are night time algae eaters. Check them in the middle of the night and see if they are moving. How long have you had them? if there is not alot of algae in the tank then put some algae sheets on some rock and they will eat that. Just my .02

24 hours old. I know I just got them but wanted to make sure this is normal. Will check at night. Got plenty of Hair algae for them unfortunately.

yeah just let them get used to your water conditions. It might take a few days. But snails feed and graze on algae at night
