Lazy Margherita snail?

[reefdork74]

Three days ago I added some livestock to my 6 gallon JBJ Nanocube. Two of these additions were Margherita snails. One fairly small and one I would call medium.

I performed a 60 or 70 minute drip acclimation and all livestock is happily alive three days later. The larger snail, however, doesnt seem to be moving. I check to see if he is alive every now and again--and he still is at the time of this post. However, he has never moved. He is always in the same spot I leave him.

Is this normal? Is he dying?

Obviously, I don't want him to die, but I also dont want him in my tank if he is sick or about to die.

thoughts?

sounds like one depressed snail. if you worry about it dying, i would just replace it with another now.

After performing a water change and boosting salinity a little, he has perked up and is moving around. It was quite odd because his smaller counterpart was always very active. He seems far less tolerant to lower salinity and I will be mindful of this going forward.
