First time poster. New tank, Fluval Evo 13.5. CUC was added 2 Weeks ago. Lost 1 snail and 1 hermit during Week 2. Is this halfway normal?
 
How many of each did you add? What are you feeding? How often do you feed? How long has the tank been running?
Got a picture of the tank?

4 snails 3 hermits (1 red leg). Also have 2 clowns, 1 firefish, 1 blue cleaner goby. Tank is 5 weeks old. Feed frozen every 3 days. Pellets other days. Try to not overfeed. Not great pics but a few recents.

Tank looks super cloudy. Are you using mechanical filtration? Filter sock, fliter floss or roller mat?
 
I had moved some rock around trying to get it scapes the way I wanted. Generally it’s very clear.
