Olive snail getting evicted!

Finally saw first hand what these snails do. It totally grabbed hold of a hermit crab and took it under the sand. The rest is history. I've noticed less crabs around the tank.

Very nice looking snail but you have to get out.

Gee... I guess this is why I have to keep buying hermits. When ever a chunk of food hits the bottom of the tank the olive shows up from under the sand to get it. Kinda spooky.
