I have 4-5 bigger Nassarius snails (I think)
But 2 of them are continually climbing up and sitting in the Skimmer and Power Filter water fall ledges.
Today, I found one somehow out of the tank completely. Stuck to the back of the Power Filter outside the tank.
I put him back in, and he seems to be fine.
The other 3 just roam the live rock.
Does this mean anything? Or are they just adventurous?
I have almost the whole tank covered too which makes it even more interesting how they got out. He must have got up on the skimmer area (uncovered) and tight-rope walked the ledge to the Filter.
Filter side, as much coverage as possible.

) Normally they're covered by water only during high tides or during storms. They're capable of clinging very tightly to the substrate to avoid being washed away by waves. To keep moist during dry times they produce mucus to glue themselves to the rock & keep the water stored in the shell from evaporating. Many are grazers which feed on micro-algae while others are predators.
