Snails are the funniest thing. I got some snails in my tank and today I was cleaning the glass and noticed one of my turbo snails attached to the Hydror Flow, now this thing keeps rotating over and over.

It has been there for the longest time, I have no idea how it got there. It has been on this rollercoaster ride for hours now. Should I take it off?

I'd leave it there ... mine do the exact same thing and I too always wonder how in the world they get there! Mine go for a ride on my flow deflector for hours on end but always end up back down safely ... so I guess they know what they're doing!

Hey even snails need their dose of roller coaster rides!:)

Cheers!

I've gotten in the habit of using the MagFloat cleaner when I'm investigating in the tank. I was trying to find one of my turbos one day and for the life of me couldn't locate "Pinky". **** thing was riding on the MagFloat.
 
They are quite sneaky for sure.
 
I have a floating feeding ring attached to the glass by suction cum and the plastic piece between the suction cum and the actual floating ring is about 4 inches long and a very thin plastic and my pyramid snails manage to make it on to the feeding ring.
I also put one in my over flow box every other week to help clean it out. I know the box is perfectly clean when they start to go up the siphon tube!
