![]() Is there a reason why snails do this? I'm pretty sure it has left it's shell since I can't see the bottom of anything like you normally can. Shell looks sparkling clean.
I don't have anything that would do that in the tank. I have two clownfish that have been with the snails for a while now. I added an arrow crab and a kole tang yesterday, but I don't believe that they would have eaten a snail. Any ideas?

![]() snails cannot leave their shells, so it must have died and the crab or some other critter (bristle worms etc) cleaned it out.

![]() how bout hermits do you have any of those?
quite possibly it just died tho do you know what kind of snail it was? ![]() if it was one of these cerith snails it is quite typical for them to die I bought lots and over time all died.

![]() The arrow crab is pretty small and figured he wouldn't have done anything since he is so new to the tank.
The snail was a turbo, pretty big too. No hermits in the tank, didn't want them fighting over each other.

![]() hmm turbos are generally super hardy, I have 3 and for awhile thought they were gonners as I never saw them for 2 months until recently, they must have been doing well cause I got about 15 baby turbos in my sump, did it get hungry maybe run out of food?

![]() Possibly, I always clean up the tank, so maybe I gotta do that less often. So much for keeping the glass clean. The sand is also pretty clean, they do a good job at keeping it together.

![]() Ok, it's not a matter of the tank being clean or not.
I came into work today and the lights were off. I noticed another snail, upside down looking dead. I turned on the lights after saying "what the f....??". Something darted off in a direction, way too quick for me to notice what it was. I'm thinking some sort of worm?? If anyone has any suggestions, let me know. I need to figure out what the hell is killing my snails.
