Escape of the Great Margarita

[Gujustud]

So I finally got around to picking up some Margarita snails for my tank. Ever since I started, I only had cerith and astrea snails only.

I've had them in my tank for about 2 days. This morning I found one snail on the OUTSIDE of my tank, halfway down the tank wall.

Is this normal?

I mean if he wanted to find his way down to the sump, he could of taken the overflow hwy, but instead he choosed to take the dry route. I slowly pryed him off, and put him inside (yes hes okay).

Yeah, .... it's unfortunately normal, they're intertidal.

You can find them on the other side of the room. At least, when I had them, I would find them at rather large distances from the tank. If they're lucky, you'll find them before they're dried out. I myself don't bother with margarita's any longer ... I prefer trochus and cerith. Eventually their luck will run out.

maybe a euro brace would help or stick the tv in front of the tank so they have something to do while your at work.
