Sometimes snails do that.. I put in some Astrea snails when I first started up my tank and they fell to the bottom of the tank (upside down) and didnt turn themselves over for 5 days. I finally felt sorry for them and took a stick and pushed them rightside up..
Did you acclimate them? :thinking:

I agree. leave them for a day and see they should move by then. if not, i dont know how they will survive without moving.
