So I just got this oversized Nassarius snail

Whatever that stick part is about him was above the sand as he was under it. Looked about an inch long. I tried to get my camera but he started moving out.

For whatever reason two crabs and a Nassarius were trying to get up the side of my tank. Now this new one as well. He started his climb and the clown came over and bit the limb in half.

That clown is a brat. He snaps at me when I have my hands in the tank too. Usually I try to flick him after lol but he always swims away.

Clowns seem to hate snails. My two clowns never bother trochus snails, but nerite snails are enemy number one. I have seen the clowns attack my nassarius snails some, but not as much as the nerites.

Nemo in the movie was cute, but clowns can be real bullies. Mine are the bully of my tank and I have a neon pseudochromis (however that is spelled).
