Nerite Snails huddled on and in overflow.

Since I got my cuc from reef cleaners, most of the nerite snails just stay huddled together near the top side of the overflow box, an now it looks like their huddle has moved into the over flow. Should I be worried and try to move them onto the rocks or let them be?

 

Nerites stick together for some reason. Mine do the same thing. I see no reason to move them, and don't.

 

That's fairly typical behavior for many of the nerite species. A few tend to stay below or right at the low tide line, but most spend time above it. I guess the only reason for moving them is that they won't be cleaning much from up there. You can redistribute them around the tank occasionally and, with any luck, they'll graze their way back to the top.

Cheers,

you mean like this

 

Exactly like that. lol Ok I won't worry, thanks everyone.

 

Mine do the same thing. Annoys the crap out of me. I have had a few get on top of the glass center brace, lose their way and die.
