Yes, only certain snails can upright themselves. Other snails unfortunately will fall victim once they turn over. Most probably fall off the glass and once turned over its snack time.

Which snails can turn themselves back over? And can i leave the shell in there since its empty?

Ok thanks, i was thinking about getting a blue spotted goby, are they easy to take care of and would it get along with my clowns and inverts?

Do you a blue dotted jawfish? I had one he passed soon after. I read there good if you introduce them fairly soon,let them find there spot then put the rest of your live stock in.
