I bought a few astrae snails from James on sunday,for some reason they keep turning themselves upside down????

Ive righted them about 10 times and even moved them round the tank to see if it was the flow or something but they keep doing it:confused: Any body got any sudgestions cos i think it will only be a matter of time befor the hermits notice and enjoy an easy meal:eek::rolleyes:

how did you acclimate them Lee?

Over a period of about an hour dripping water into the bag slowly!!!!

Possibly longer than an hour:D

Could it be that my salinity is around 1.026? a little bit high:o

I'm not sure that will affect them, i run mine at 1.025/6 and the ones i got from Maccas a couple of months back are fine.
