    Snails Doing Something Odd

    My big snails... not Tubro snails, I think they're Ceriths? Well, anyway. All of them are in a top corner of my tank and have been there for a few days. Are they having an orgy or something?

    The first 3 pictures are some type of crab... I ordered a reef-cleaner pack from Reefcleaners.org and dumped in my snails... before I noticed, my husband was like "woah, look at that little guy" and then the crab went into an empty shell and disappeared until this afternoon...and I snagged him...

    How much "Flow"?

    So, I'm looking at getting a couple Powerheads to put in my 55 gallon, they're both 800GPH. I read somewhere that the water should be moved around 6 to 12 times whatever size it is (gallon-wise) an hour. Is that too much...or not enough... or what? Any help would be appreciated :D
