I have had them for months now and I have to right one every once in a while or the crabs get them. There are a few that seem more prone to falling than others the best ones I've found have bee Margarita snails I have not seen one fall yet and they have been in my tank since sept 09 and are they getting large. LMB eats algae that grows on their shell.

I may be a newb but I have found Astrea's to be the hardest workers in my tank. I have about 5 of them and I have only had to give one a little help once in the two months I have had them. I have a mexican turbo and he only seems to move at night and sits in the same place all day. My Ceriths work quite a bit but are much smaller than the Astrea's so not a fair comparison.

If you dont mind the price tag (often $20/each) I really like abalone. They get large, move quickly and eat massive amounts of film algae.
