Is this an okay amount of alge for him.
This stuff is on the car cave and plants.

If its not. What type of food should I get it?
 
looks like a regular brig apple snail to me.
no, the algae will not be enugh. you can supplement his diet with fish food of any kind.

Thanks. I guess I will put a bit of extra flakes in for him.

How long does it take snails to warm up to their new homes. I Just ploped him in a few hours ago. I could see him moving in the shell because it was on the back. I thought I should tip it so the opening was facing the rocks. I thought he might not be able to flip him self over. He was like that for about 2 hours and did not seem to be coming out of his shell. I put the opening of the shell flat aginst the side of the tank. He was coming out. I think the flash on my cam scared him.
 
I reccomend using sinking algae wafers, as flakes do not have a high enough content of vegitable matter for them, which they need.
 
Diffrent view...He is my first snail. Dose he look normal?
