Slow Day (nyuk, nyuk)

Sometimes I feel like all I do all day is rescue snails. Like Bender, most saltwater snails can't turn over if they land on their backs, so they just flail around until they starve to death.

That's generally an indicator of an exceptionally healthy tank when your snails reproduce, and they did pop up all at once, so they obviously lay eight-seven-billion eggs at a time.
