So I am pretty sure I know the answer to this already, but seeing as I am a noob..

I have 17 thinstripe hermit crabs, some are quite large (and some not).. would I be correct to assume they will destroy margarita/cerith/trochus snails?

Also do margaritas fall off glass pretty often?

No personal experience with those crabs, but I believe those to be very opportunistic (along with most crabs). I would not trust them.

My main reason for responding to this post was for the margarita snails. It is my understanding that they are generally a cooler water species (nothing above 78 degrees F) as described on WWC's website. Before that, I have heard or read they require cooler waters, so anything warmer probably would be conducive towards declining margarita snail health.
