    Happened to see the party going on in my tank late last night... Only thing that throws me off is the fact that there's two species of snails involved...

    Could they have gathered to eat something. Bumble bee snails are carnivores.

    sorry...

    IDK, it was looking rather umm... gooey amongst the mob so didn't think it was an eating frenzy... and not sure what they would have come across as i'm not missing anything... unless it was a fellow snail/crab.
