My Copperband is going savage on my snails but won't eat any prepared foods...

Looking for worms most likely. Those antennas kind of resemble some.

Their natural diet is worms, snails, hermits, aiptasia, pods (Basically crustaceans). The CBB is going at your snails most likely due to them resembling their natural diet.
As for why it’s not eating prepared foods, are you able to give a list of what you’ve tried already?

Frozen mysis, frozen brine. Rods food, LRS, live black worns, tubiflex, frozen blood worms, mastick, pellets in 3 different sizes and maybe a couple other things I'm forgetting. Lol

Try get hold of different live worms for example spaghetti worms. This will allow for foraging to occur if the worms make it into the tank.
I’d also try mix some of the worms with frozen to see if that could entice him into eating it.

I have a pig of a copper band that has never killed snails. Clams are a different story. IME the key to getting a picky copper band to eat is to feed from a pouch feeder. Two little fishies makes one. The like to pick at their food.

After I saw him wrecking my clam I thought I needed to do something fast.

But this guy is just a gangster who wants to cause some havoc. Lol

Buy more snails and be thankful it's found something to eat :)

The antenae are likely attracting its attention. Mine is an eating machine and interested in food only

I think you could say goodbye to your snail population if you intend to keep that copperband. I recently had to remove my two-year-old (in my possession) copperband because he took a liking to my Acans. They like to test taste things, and if they like the taste, they’ll keep coming back. He probably tasted one of your snails, and liked it. Game over.

The pouch feeder helped a lot. Took about a month but I finally got him eating frozen from the water column!!
