Snail assassin!

[Moe_K]

I keep finding my turbo snails knocked off the glass and rocks and tipped upside down in the sand.
I think it's either my yallow coris wrasse (actually Halichores not Coris), or my candy hog fish.
Might also be the flame angel.
Other fish: psycho mandarin, black blenny, royal gramma, yellow tang, solon wrasse, yellow fin wrasse.

Any likely snail killers there?

Anyone else notice snails being knocked off in their tank?

Blennies can be very territorial My LMB would pickup any of the cleanup crew that entered his space and escort them out of his space.

My yellow coris wrasse picks on my snails... i have a grave yard of shells behind my rock work... i think he works at night

I just had to ditch a Lyretail wrasse for that exact reason. I heard tapping on my glass at night and it was the wrasse thrashing with a snail in it's mouth. Long story on getting him out but he is gone and snails and shrimp crabs are fine.( I typed that out because I can't spell crustacians?) Moral of my story is watch the wrasse! Good luck!

BTW... I know the Lyretail was a rookie mistake for a reef but he was way cool!

Hey look I said cool not Kewl!

I vote for the Coris or the candy hog. It could be any of the wrasses but those two are the most obvious choices.
