| Re: Nassarius Snails attacking!!!! Are you sure it is the snails doing the damage? What other fish /inverts do you have in your tank? My Yellow Coris Wrasse will suck the crabs out of their shell, and to my surprise, both my Percula's will aid in eating the body (but never the legs.)

| Re: Nassarius Snails attacking!!!! The Matrix/Emerald Crab could be your advocate. If you plan on keeping corals in your tank, do so with caution as these crabs are not reef recommended. Its a 50/50 shot though, some are fine, and others chomp away at many corals and other inverts such as your starfish. The Scarlet Hermits are docile and reef compatible so I would not point the finger at them to blame, they are okay. Is your starfish still alive?
