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.
 
Most snails will upright themselves and be ok. Others won’t and you just have to wqtch your tank of you have snails that won’t do that.
 
Mine likes to cannonball down rocks but rights itself every time. :oops: I have helped it a few times but they should be okay!
