Cerith snails should be sold with a warning sticker... I ordered 6 of them from my LFS (they don't keep them in stock, and I think I know why now...). The smallest out of the batch was about 1.5" with the largest being 2.5" or so (larger than the info I read stated). Within the first several hours of having them in the tank, I had to rescue 3 of them that fell off rocks getting stuck upside down. If they don't land near a rock or glass, they're stuck :shakehead: .
Now a day and a half after adding them, I have had to flip one over no fewer than 10 times :wall: . I travel quite a bit for work, so I am guessing these will soon be big new homes for my hermits. I am giving at least one to a friend... assuming at least one makes it through the next week while I'm gone.
I haven't checked with the LFS yet to see if I can trade them back in for something - but again, they don't keep them in stock, so I won't hold my breath.
