I have noticed a couple of the cerith snails attached to each other a couple of times on the aquarium glass.  I am not sure if this is some sort of mating activity or not.  They were attached when I went downstairs and stayed attached for about and 45 mins to an hour after I was down there.

Here are the pics.  Sorry about the algae.
