Will a red nobbed starfish eat snail's?

[HAAAAAAAA]

As a clean up crew for my 150 gallon aquarium with a 6 inch greasy grouper and pebble tooth eel(zebra moray) and a fangtooth eel will i be able to keep snails and a starfish? I too have a question concerning if my starfish will eat the nasarrius snails

Yes - I believe they will.

They also eat soft corals.

There are couple of different starfish I've heard called Red Knobbed/Red Knobby starfish, and both of them reportedly eat a variety of inverts in our tanks, so it wouldn't surprise me if they ate any Nassarius snails they could catch.

Thank you for the information as alway's, would you recommend the red knobbed or the nasarrius snail's as cleaner crew?

I'd personally go with the Nassarius snails - to my knowledge, these shouldn't be preyed on by Zebra Eels or your grouper, and they should do a good job cleaning up any missed food.

Thank you! I would've gone to the beach to get them for free but the beach is about 150 miles (quite far) i got some from the beach a while back and they sure are like zombies who pop out of the sand and eat my tessalata's remained food, really cool to watch!
