So, this is currently happening... It's slowly eating one of our Cerith Snails. Anyone ever seen such a thing? Nature is a wonderful thing. :oops:

That would be a nightmare for my 5 gallon. Considering snails are the only thing keeping algae at bay. And the main kind of snail I have is a dwarf cerith. I will look out for this when getting some LPS.

Yup snails are commonly killed by my very large lps such my Cynarina and Acantho. Snails ain't the brightest things in the sea lol.
