And it's a cool gift too lol nothing better than a gift for your tank! I do the same all the time

Yes they are

If they're tiny you maybe want to grow them out a bit bigger unless the buyer is happy enough with the size. I bought snails before when they were tiny blue ramshorn.

Mine came in tubes with a little bit of water then the tube was wrapped in bubble wrap and put in a padded envelope.

The only type of snail that eats other snails is assassins but I don't think they eat algae

Add cuttlebone to your tank it's good for the shell. I bought one nerite and when I brought him home his shell looked terrible! That was 2 years ago and he's doing fine
