I'm just curious, do Trochus or Mexican Turbo Snails eat Chaeto?

I have a few in refugium and I am curious if they get enough to eat.

If they actually eat Chaeto, they really shouldn't have a problem.

I'm really hoping that left alone in the refugium with enough food the trochus snails might decide to breed.

Just hoping.
 
A few months back I put 5 trochus and 5 mexican turbo snails in a 10 gallon QT for 76 days. The turbos definitely ate everything I put in the QT including chaeto. I never saw the trochus go near the chaeto and I did lose 2 of them before the 76 days were up.

Hey, thanks for the info.

So, Turbo, yup, Trochus, who knows?

You always here salty myths about trochus snails breeding in the aquarium, I'm wondering if they'll do it in the regugium.
