Just got a shipment for snails and was dissapointed that some of the snails had some pretty bad algae on their shells.

Can snails handle peroxide dip?
 
you could scrub them, I keep a toothbrush and an oxo brush for this purpose alone. Put them In a simple enough QT tank that you can get them out a couple more times if you really want to scrub them again. Take your time, its tedious.
