Thought you might enjoy this,
I have a big double sided whisper filter, my ivory mystery snail is pretty
active meaning all over the tank, I have all the snails in the goldfish
tank at the moment which is pretty big, a lot of glass for them to cover,
I could only find three of them and I was looking and happened to look in
the filter because this morning I noticed he was climbing up the extension
tube, he climbed all the way up the extension tube out of the water to go
over the little valve you adjust the water flow with, back down into where
the bio sponge is and was just hanging out there. I pulled him up and put
him back in the tank, a few bubbles came out of his shell and off he went
right back to the extension tube, guess its like the game with babies
where they drop something and you pick it back up just for them to throw
it again. maybe he wants attention.

Maybe your snail is channeling Nemo and
trying to escape back to the wild?

I had a snail that would come in and out of the filter. When i took
the tank apart I found that it was where it was reproducing. There
were hundreds in there, especially in the undergravel filter.

Hope you won't get the same problem
