I know I have a lot less snails now than the 60+ I started with. I've gotten rid of my larger hermits. Not sure if that has helped.

I think all hermits will attack snails. They seem to get worse when they get larger. When mine get too big they go in the refugium. Won't be buying anymore either!

hermits love a free meal thats for sure, pretty sure i've read that theres not one species that won't take advantage of an upside down snail. they're also annoying when you feed anemones/ lps as they usually start climbing on the coral and pciking at it, which really annoys it. for example a condy anemones worst anemone just happens to be a hermit, definitely would'nt deem them reef-safe, more evil than anything..
