I can prove that Bumblebee snails eat Vermetid worms

[design.maddie]

Found this little guy munching away today and thought that I would share the event. I seem to always see debates on if these snails actually do eat Vermetid.

Finally - a CUC doing the job it was advertised as!

Proof that YOUR bumblebee eats vermetids

Unrelated to the title, but I just wanted to say that these are the longest living clean up crew members I have ever had. They are amazing

the 4 i have have yet to be seen eating vermetid snails. although, i do confess i do not have many in the tank to begin with. perhaps 3-5 in a 40B.

Am I blind cause I'm not seeing what is being advertised?

Only thing that worked for me was an urchin. It would literally reset the surface of the rock so no trace of the snails remained

Yeah, me neither. I see a snail next to what kind of looks like a vermetid and then a pan to a hermit crab. Not trying to get into this debate, but this isn’t proof of anything.

At around 00:38 the snoot rips what I assumed to be the worm from inside the tube. I think a debate on what the video shows is fine. No debate intended.

I believe that's just the siphon touching something and reacting by retracting.

I came across a bumblebee snail eating a Vermetid snail as well. So SO HAPPY

I've got ~25 bb snails in a mostly bare 30g frag tank.

I'd guess I've got as many Vermited snails in there. Havint seen One v snail disappear yet...
