    Default Spiny Star Astraea

    Has anyone ever dealt with these guys? I bought two on Tuesday when I was adding to my clean up crew mainly because they looked cool. When I bought them I also bought 20 blue legged reef hermits and two big turbos everything is doing well moving around great except for these two. They aren't moving and I find my self moving them to see if they are still alive. When I do move them I see there bodies move in. I found one upside down where I left it(probably a hermit turning it over) and it was sticking out from its shell a bit but like I said when I moved it it moved back into its shell. So they are both still alive but not moving at all. From research I have done they are safe for my tank and very good eaters some sources say they can demolish some algae.

    From my own personal experience for the last 3yrs I've yet to be able to keep these lil guys alive. All other snails seem to thrive for me but those
