Haddoni Carpet eats turbo snail.

My blue haddoni carpet anemone has a turbo snail in its grasps. Was wondering if anyone has had this experience before? Carpet is almost a foot wide. I have read that they will eat snails and spit the shell back out. That what I'm hoping anyways :/

Yes, he'll be fine. A Haddoni will eat about anything that touches him when he's hungry.

Any pics? :-)

So, I looked at it today and the shell of the snail was visible, but like it was just laying on top of the anemone's mouth. I pulled it out:/ the anemone wasnt sticking to it at all. The snail came out easily and I thought it was dead for sure, however (after spending 24hrs in the anemone) it crawled up the side of the tank! Afterwards, I gave the anemone a silverside and it ate it with no hesitation.
