Did the turbo snail fall upside down? If you're not around to help the little guy I believe it'll die. I've read differing opinions online, but I've never once seen a turbo snail right itself, and an employee at my LFS told me they'll die fairly quickly if they're not righted. I assume they rely on tides in nature to save them. Can't speak for the red fire, but my cleaners will eat anything dead.. or so it seems

They will never attack and kill snails but as cd77 & BangkokMatt said, they'll eat the dead ones.
