I have had great success with my Astrea's for the most part. I have noticed that when my bluelegs out grow their shell they find an Astrea and kill it and hijack its shell. I have maybe 6 blue legs walking around in Astrea shells. Where did you get them from, it might be something that is happening during collection or at the LFS before you get them. If the feet get damaged the won't stick to the glass like you are saying and they will probably get an infection like a clam when it's foot is damaged. Astrea's are tough snails, when wholesalers bring them in they usually come 500 to a bag with NO water, they are shipped dry.
