So I picked up a couple snails today and was strategically placing them--you know, on the inlet pipe where lots of algae is growing. Of course they fell off, right into the haddoni carpet anemone. I tried to grab them quickly. Bad idea, of course, but I tried. The anemone slowly curled up and ingested the snails! I never thought they would eat a shelled animal like a snail (it may explain why I am replacing my CUC every 6-8 months, it seems).
Anyone heard of/seen an anemone eating snails?
