New Nassarius Sails Dying?

[Fumbles]

I got a couple more nassarius snails and another turbo snail from my lfs yesterday. The tank already had 2 of each. The turbo snail took off on the glass and was moving all over the tank. The nassarius snails just sat in the sand bed where they were put. Later I noticed one of them upside down, so I flipped it back over. This morning I found it upside down again in the same spot.

When I first introduced the original 4 snails, I just dropped them in. The nassarius dug immediately and the turbos took off. For these new ones, I left them in their bags floating to help aclimate them to the temperature and then put them in.

All my other snails are doing fine, so I don’t know what could be wrong with the 2 new nassarius.

Tank parameters I am measuring are
Ammonia 0
Nitrite 0
Nitrate 0
Temp 80-80.2
Salinity 1.025

My calcium was low at the lfs so I bought a bottle of calcification and added the recommended 7ml/25gal dosage

How old is that tank? Sometimes snails just don't survive the journey from supplier to LFS to your tank.

While you're generally _much_ better off getting snails from the LFS than ordering them from the internet... sometimes, they don't make it.

I might add... sometimes, the LFS guy won't spend much time selecting a snail, either. Dig up a shell, toss it in the bag. Could have been dead before you ever bought it.

It’s been up for about 6 weeks. I’ll keep an eye on them, but maybe I shouldn’t be so worried if everything else is doing good. Thank you.

+1 just got some astreas and nassarius from my lfs. Got them home and one of my astreas turned out to be a hermit in an astrea shell

Also I just received an order from liveaquaria yesterday of a mixture of snails that I ordered. They all arrived live and well but 3 of the trochus shells were empty

Newbie here but could the issue be with change in salinity? It's my understanding that inverts are very sensitive to salinity change...so I dripped mine. Not sure it that's overkill or not

usually snails need a longer "drip" acclimation so they can slowly get used to different water. I actuallyslow drip my snails for hours. Surely overkill, but hey,
