Turbos

[alleykat81]

Why is it that I can't keep turbo snails alive? I have several ceriths and nassarius in my tank that have been in there for months with no problems. Are turbos more delicate or what?

i have had the opposite problem, my regular turbos did fine, but all the chestnut colored snails bit the dust real quick.

I can't keep them alive either(3-4 months is typical). Which is fine by me because they get way too big. They are like little bulldozers in reef tanks.

Mine usually only last a week or two. I drip acclimate them for 1-2 hrs. My tank is usually around 80 degrees. Is that too warm for them?
