    Thanks. I keep having to turn the little goes over!

    It seems a few are trying to commit suicide. I had two nassarius snails fall from the top of the glass. lol.

    They'll all right themselves,the only ones that can't(i believe)are astreas(sp?) which don't come in the quick crews,you'll be fine with just an occasional escapee here and there.My tank has a rim similar to yours,they'll cruise around it often,but seldom leave the tank.

    Say, I've never heard of snails climbing over the tank trim. lol. I hear it a lot with rimless tanks though as they can just keep moving and they are out of the tank. :p There's no blockade in the way.

    A nerite can get over the edge,but i've only ever lost a couple (that i know of,lol).And the dwarf ceriths love making there way into your overflow/filter compartments,i've even pulled them from my skimmers before,lol.Anywhere they think theres food i guess,haha.

    And for a real kick,watch your sandbed closely when you feed the tank,the nassasarius' will go nuts popping up from the sand and racing for food,they're the fastest snails i've ever seen!

    That sounds really cool to watch. I thought it was interesting just watching them move their little feeder tentacle/feeler around. haha

    Looks like a FL cerith to me, and they just sit there for a day or so.
