Snails vs Powerheads

My {moderator edit} snails keep getting caught in the intake of my powerhead. I've lost two snails in the last week.

What kind of snails? And what kind of powerhead?

[Steve silbernagel]

Turbo snails and I'm not sure what kind if pump it is. All I know is it's intake is wide open so anything could get caught in it

Why not put something over it then?

[Steve silbernagel]

Ya I'm gonna put a sponge over it I think or get a different powerhead

Well it turns out maxi jet makes a screen to go over the intake. Just got one (thx Rich) problem solved. One point for the snails!
