Do bumblebee snails attack/eat each other?

I ask as I put three in my tank a few weeks ago, all very much alive. Next morning one was on top of another and stayed there for about a week, then when it left there was an empty shell, then it caught up with the other, and same again. So now I have one left that looks a lot like it ate it’s fellow bumblebee snails.

Snails/crabs will eat other if no food available, if your aquarium is new try algae flakes, crab cuisine, these are supplements if no algae present for them to eat

This is after adding a small piece of algae flake today, one crab grabs it and it's like a rugby/ superbowl lol :)

(I can't upload video so I took a screenshot)
