Today I knows my Turbo snail was flipped sideways. I attempt to flip them over and a couple minutes later he flipped back into the same position. Should I be worried or this is normal. Yes I check my calcium it's at 480. Yes I have more than one snail and they all seem to be doing good.
 
Here go some pictures to show what i see.

What happens if you put it on a rock? Sometimes my turbos flip themselves over in the sand, they look like that.
 
Shelled snails aren’t good at righting themselves :(. Since I moved to stomatella snails, I’ve never had to flip another snail! They seem to do just as good a job or even a little better than the shelled snails ever did and they even reproduce in my aquarium! All good things with these guys so far, I highly recommend them

To me it looks like the snail is trying to upright itself on a rock that will not support it and thus the rock rolls over.
 
Mine likes to cannonball down rocks but rights itself every time. :oops: I have helped it a few times but they should be okay!
