Any fish that is small enough to be eaten will be. Its never touched a snail of any size. I also feed it anywhere from 3 to 8 silversides or up to around 12 krill at a time depending on their sizes so filtration is another big consideration.

mine loved snails but only the babys and he would eat them shell and all ,he never touched any of the large snails but when my turbos would breed he would eat the tiny little babys that were around his lair.he also ate a very large cinnamon clown. ive been bit by him and it isnt pleasant like someopne cutting you with a steak knife, and they can be quite sneaky for escaping so a lid is a must. when mine was a baby he was in my 33 and he never grew alot as a juvie but like my old one i had once he hit the 8-9" range he started to fatten up and grow considerably and would have outgrown my 33 in a matter of no time.as juvies they are friendly and can even be fed my hand like mine was but once they are able to fit fish in their mouth and see fish as available food nothing is safe including your hands. if you have sand in your tank as juvies they are quite good at digging tunnels in and around the live rock. if your looking for a deadly or aggressive animal as a juvie a snowflake eel just isnt it im afraid lol
