Snail Escape

[Delphinus]

It can get even worse when you get into snail species that in the wild live in intertidal zones. There are at least 2 or 3 species that are sometimes available as cleanup clew - nerite, marguerites ... I think bumblebee snails as well (which can be FW also). I would find them clear across the room and sometimes with a little dried up slime trail on the carpet. Toss them back in the tank, they'd rehydrate and continue to live .. and eventually climb out the tank again and then this cycle would repeat until the time that their luck would run out and they dry out too much. I tell anyone considering snails to stay away from the intertidal ones!
