turbo/turban snail question?

what are they vulnerable to water wise? i had two die these past 2 weeks and i have tested the water with the master kit and everything is in check. thisngs i have not tested for are phosphates, calcium etc. the tank is doing great but they dies off. i had them for months.

Could be dieing from starvation. If there isn't enough to munch on they will wither. I would start checking your alkalinity and calcium though. It's good practice to keep these in balance.

the tank is flourishing with coraling and some bright green algae. i also have near 100 pounds of live rock. just before they die they kind of crumple up and go in and out of there shells in a rocking motion.

i will check alkaline and calium too.

thanks!

Some/many of the turbo's commonly sold by LFS etc are actually cold water specimens which can't survive in our warm water tanks.

hmmm my tank recently has been hovering around 80.2 that very well could be it then.
