I've been noticing over the last week, alot of my Nerites are hanging out at the top of the tank. I didn't think much of it at first and moved them back down but noticed again. Thoughts?

My temp =76, salinity 1.024, ph = 8.0, nitrate =0, nitrite =0, ammon =0, kh =10

I'm dosing essential elements, iodide, calcuim, and buffer as needed.

Lights - 420 actinics 10hours and 10,000k 5 hours (plus moon LEDs)

Nerites are tidal snails. They will hang out in the damp areas outside of the water in the wild.

I actually found one of mine ON TOP of my light fixture....well...the shell that was left anyway....

Truly not sure how it got up there....had to have climbed a cord to get there....very strange.

They're amazing. I found one crawling down my tank stand and was almost to the floor. Not sure if the path behind him was cleaner... or dirty? Hmmm
