Coral Banded Shrimp eats snail?

Just wondering if CBS eat snails, I have an evergrowing graveyard of snail shells piling up in one part of my reef tank. Right now he would be the only suspect.

nah. Look for some other culprit.

They do like Bristle worms though

true.
FWIW I've seen all kinds of shrimps attack Stomatella, but I was under the impression we were discussing more "traditional" snails like Astrea etc.

What type of snail shells are piling up, Chris?

Astreas..

Into the sump then!

Ditch the hermit carb he's a snail eater! I've only had my CBS eat a snail if it was on the way out or dead.

I doubt anyone wants him, if so he's free.. He will be in my sump for the mean time
