Default Snail digging in

Hi everyone,

I have a small apple snail that we just added to the tank. I've got a layered substrate for my plants with sand on top. they snail has halfway buried himself in it. Is the poor little guy just hiding, or is this something I should be concerned about? I've never had a snail on sand before.

Yeah, he must've tasted something tasty down there, and is rooting for it.
