Haven't seen snail since acclimation

[Goatonfly]

I introduced 4 margarita snails and 1 cleaner shrimp 2 days ago. 3 of the snails and the shrimp have all been social little guys moving around exploring the tank. I haven't seen the other snail at all. At what point should I start searching for him? I have seen a tiny baby snail that showed up the night I put snails in. How detrimental is a dead if that is the case?

I wouldn't worry about it. I have snails die all the time(to lazy sometimes to flip them over), and my cleaner shrimp has a feast that night.

If you have an established biofilter, that tiny snail won't even make a blip on an ammonia test.

Some snails dye, just part of the process of keeping a reef. Unless you have a very small nano tank, I wouldn't worry about it. It will end up being a new home for a hermit crab...if you got any.

If I remember, margarita snails are tide snails. I had a rimless tank, and would find them on the ground every morning as they tried to move away from it. But I always found them (before the dogs) and threw them back in.
