Does CopperBand Butterfly eat baby snails?

[Bao]

Hello everyone.

I got so many small snail in my tank.. they multiply like rabbits.
Anyway, I always wanted a Copperband butterfly. I was wondering if the butterfly would eat those tiny baby snails?
They are all over the rocks and glass.

thanks,
Bao

copperband butterflies don't eat snails. They may eat aiptasia anemones, but not snails. They are also very hard to keep, so make sure you SEE IT EAT before you bring it home.

those snails aren't really a bad thing to have. but too many I guess could be a nuisance.

The snails are a sign of a healthy tank
