Whats wrong with my snail?
I think there is something wrong with my turbo snail. The past two nights in a row its been on the glass and then just randomly falls off all the way to the bottom. Why is this snail doing this?

Its found a cheap thrill ride?
Being nocturnal, you are either spooking it with lights, or it just feels that it has gone close enough to the big air void in the sky and wants the safety of "depth" again. I wouldnt worry about it. |

What is your salinity? Temp? How long have you had the snail? How did you acclimate? How much algae is there for it to eat?

It might be a food issue, but my first suspect would be low SG. Lower than about 1.024 for extended periods is very tough on lots of inverts, especially mollusks and echinoderms.
