my margarita snails are way more active than my astrea snails,
for the first day all my snails just sat still but the next morning they were all over everything.

Your margaritas probably won't last very long unfortunately. The ones sold by LFS are usually a temperate species used to cooler waters. They will adapt to live in the temperatures that we have our reefs at, but their metabolisms will be on hyperdrive as a result and they'll only last a few months. It's a shame since they're such good grazers.
