This is about the Turban snail. I have heard a lot of people have problems with this particular snail. This hardy snail does well in an established aquarium with ample places to hide. The aquarium should ideally have a large area for grazing and live rock. Since the Turban Snail uses calcium to build its shell, an adequate calcium level must be maintained. It is very sensitive to any level of copper-based medications and prefers a low nitrate level.
The Turban Snail can spawn in captivity, normally in mature reef aquariums. The Turban Snail will expel their gametes, temporarily making the water cloudy. In a few months tiny Turban Snails will be visible on the glass and substrate when the lights have gone off. As they grow the Turban Snails will venture out into bright light during the day.
This information came from Liveaquaria.com, and more information can be found on the web about these great creatures. They need lots of algae if you want them to live, and no more than 2 -3 should be in a 20 gallon aquarium I have heard from other Web sites.
If sufficient algae are not present, the Turban Snail's diet should be supplemented with dried seaweed.
Hope this helps.

Do snails die in hot or cold weather?
Snails are more likely to die in hot weather because they are sensitive to extreme temperatures. Heat can lead to dehydration and stress for snails, which can ultimately be fatal. Cold weather can also be harmful to snails if it is too extreme, as they may hibernate to survive.
