yeah the nitrates are a little on the high side but i have had nitrates up to 40ppm for monthes and snails and such were fine.

how long have they been in the tank? what else is in the tank? do you hear any clicking noise comming from the tank during the day or night?

How much does your temp and salinity fluxuate?

anything new introduced to the tank lately? Any copper medication or possible exposure to copper?
