Who places there snails?

[sweetreef]

Just wondering if anyone places some of there snails in places where you want them to clean i did it last night with one on a power head and woke up and it looks as good as new....lol got to love them little guys...It was a tuff spot for them to get to..

I do!! I figure they can use the help finding a food source easier, and they make my tank pretty.

I do. The tank is cleaner and they are better fed.

I definetely do...You just gotta be carefully and make sure you place them correctly. I wonder how snails survive in the wild. Once the get knocked on their backs, they are as good as dead

lol...funny you posted this, i thought i was the only one!
The silly snails always end up on the live rock which is all fine and good, but darn it...clean my powerheads and glass!
I take my 3 biggest ones every couple of days, and place them on the glass, or powerheads, or anything else that needs a cleaning
If only I could get them to clean my daughters' rooms!

I've always found humor (I know, it's cruel) watching my snails flip back over (same with the hermits). The snail goes to clean the emperor 400, and then to get back down just drops. It always manages to flip itself over though :thinking: .
The hermits also climb the silicone seals in the corner and fall to get back down.
