This morning most of the snails and crabs were in the same spot. So I pulled them out and began to separate them. Out of 75 small blue legged hermits only 12 survived. These were packed damp by the way. All of the nassarius snails are alive and active. The peppermint shrimp were walking around last night. One emerald crab was also cleaning a rock and the other I did not see. The cerith moved away from the pile. The problem I have is the astrae snails. Only about 5 of them have moved from the original spot. I took them out and sniffed them but they don't smell dead. They don't seem active either. I can tough their flesh and they will not retract. They seem lethargic. Are they doomed? I am going to report this to reeftopia and see what they think.
