Aptasia eating snail?! Stay tuned and find out if it’s possible.

Im gonna get a lot of doubters on this one but I noticed my snail on top of a cluster of aptasia all day. I thought he might be stunned from being stung but nope I tried to move him and he had a strong grip on the rock. I’m rooting for him to be a aptasia eating snail. I took a picture and circled the snail but my camera stinks so tough to see. BTW yes I know the methods to get rid of aptasia already lol just thought this would be interesting for some.

There are only two things I can make out in the picture. There appears to be a frag plug below your circle and maybe a euphyllia in the lower right corner. Everything else looks like a blue blob.

So it is more of a blue saturation issue. You need to turn the blues off and turn on the whites, otherwise without filters you will never get a good picture, regardless of how nice of a camera you use.

Sorry I don’t mess with my light program it’s on a 24 hour program where it ramps up and down , just set it and forget it. You know what I can put my flashlight on the snail, brb

The pictures don't really show anything. In the last one you can see a snail and that's it. Is that an Astrea snail? Most likely the snail is in the area eating algae, which is irritating the aiptasia. Most likely he is not eating any of the aiptasia.

Ok the snail came off the aptasia and surprisingly he cleaned up the area really nice the aptasia look happy in their clean environment.
