Cerith's Drunk or What?

[NCADAM]

Quite recently I have noticed a good many of my Cerith Snails have decided to hang out hole up for lack of a better term. Anyone have any advice. Is this normal for Ceriths'. My parameters should appear below.

Thanks,

BUMP! ANYONE

From my experience, if you right them, and they flip over again and stay that way, they're going to be dead soon. Hope I'm wrong, but...

Seems all parameters are good as shown below. Any reasoning outside of we all die sooner or later.

my did that for a few weeks and I kept turning him back over but he soon stopped after his buddy was attacked and eaten by 4 hermit crabs, I'd just keep righting him and keep crabs off of him.

Parameters look good. The other possibility is that your tank is too clean and there isn't enough algae to go around...

I've seen this too, they didn't die. I think sometimes they just suck in their shell and get flipped over. Normally this is a beach living sandy area snail so underground, does it matter if you're upsidedown?

Good Point! Thanks for all the replies. They do seem to still move so I will let em be.

I'm not sure if my situation is the norm or an anomoly. My Cerinths sometimes rest upside down, hole-side up. They seem to upright themselves when they feel like moving, but I've seen mine lie upside-down for 24+ hours.

In my tank, I leave them to be.
