Default Re: pyram snails do they eat other corals or just clams

I've never heard of any pyramid snail attaching any other coral besides clams. There are actually a few different species of pyramid snails. One species attacks clams and won't survive and multiply without a clam in the tank. Other species are known to attack other species of snails. And then there are also other species that haven't been known to cause any harm, besides for visual appearance.
