From what I have read snails can be one of the most sensitive marine animals especially when it comes to abrupt changes in Ph and SG. Make sure you drip acclimate them for a good amount of time before putting them in and make sure you are not over populating with snails or Hermits they may not find enough to eat.
theres planty for them to eat the ph is good a and its not killing all manly crabs the store also told me about 1 snail or crab per gal but i dont even have that so not over populatedFrom what I have read snails can be one of the most sensitive marine animals especially when it comes to abrupt changes in Ph and SG.

Did you buy your tank used? You could have copper in it, which kills off inverts. Might want to invest into a copper test and see.
no copper was firends old tank he had fresh water and i cleaded it out and tested the water and every thing came up good
I was having a problem with invert deaths too, only thing I could think of was my nitrates were a bit high for them as they are much more sensitive then fish. I was using tap water and switched to RO to try to help with it...
water qulity is good i let them sit in the water for about 20 min the i drip them for about 1hr and 30min then i add them to my tank
