These are lame but oddities (to me).

Conch able to climb glass -- never would've thought possible:
...but have seen it a couple/few times now in the 3.5 years I've had him

Some of my nassarius snails have started periodically hanging out in a barnacle cluster in early morning (before light):
...just chillin',,, not aggressively searching for food like normal

Hey everyone! I'm wondering if you can help me out with something!

I discovered some new life in my 40-oz pico this morning, and one of the discoveries is a Chitron (which I have no experience or knowledge about:winking-face-with-tongue:)! I'm not sure if it is alive or not, and if it is alive, should I move it to my bigger tank? It's had to have been on the move recently because it is in an obvious spot, and I didn't notice it until today. I tried moving it, and it is very stuck to the glass, but it also didn't move or retract at all when I touched it (not sure if that is normal or not?).

They have a vice grip on any surface, but that's also a good sign--they're alive!

Best way to remove them is to lay a shell down nearby and wait until it craws onto the shell, then lift the shell out. Any other piece of rubble will also do. Then just move it over to the next tank and it will go off the shell/rubble looking for food.
