Preadatory Snail

[jaa1456]

So lately I have noticed one of my Zoa colonies shrinking, Couldn't figure out why there would be a few missing every couple of days. So I looked into the tank first thing this morning and found a small Sundial Snail on the colony. I snatched it out quick, I'm hoping it was the only one in there.

probably not the only 1.i think certain wrasses eat them

I've had these... they're a real pain. Check the zoas carefully and look near the base of them for eggs. If you find any, cut the polyp off if possible or try to carefully scrape them off.

Yea so far only the one snail, it must have been in the rock of zoas I picked up, even though I dipped the zoas I guess the snail just stayed inside hanging out. No others or any eggs that I see.
