Question about bumble bee snails

[zemuss]

I recently read a few post on other forums about Bumble Bee snails and how they eat vermetid snails. I was wondering if anyone have found this to be true? I have an ever growing population of vermetid snails and they are affecting my corals.

I also read an article on ReefBuilders that suggest the mucus webs that the vermetid snails uses to catch food will irritate and cause your SPS to die.

I have plenty of vermitids and yes the web gets sent out but I have never seen reason to believe it will kill anything other then the food it catches. At times the web has touched the Acros and montis I have and they appeared unbothered by it.
As to the bumble bee snails, I have one its been in my tank for over a year and I see it off and on. They are carnivorous but I have never seen it eat anything. Including the many vermitids I have.
