    All snails have eyes.

    John at reefcleaners told me they were blind and this is why they did this.

    That's weird. They have eyes, only tiny ones. And if they're blind they have been for thousands of years. If that makes them crawl out of the water by mistake and commit suicide then Darwinism would posit that they should have been killed off long ago. They sit out of the water for hours because in nature they live above the tide line. More likely they are crawling up and waiting for the tide to cover them again. But "oops! I'm in an aquarium, no tides. Crap! I'm gonna die!"
