There have been murders in my tank!

hmm turbos are generally super hardy, I have 3 and for awhile thought they were gonners as I never saw them for 2 months until recently, they must have been doing well cause I got about 15 baby turbos in my sump, did it get hungry maybe run out of food?

Possibly, I always clean up the tank, so maybe I gotta do that less often. So much for keeping the glass clean. The sand is also pretty clean, they do a good job at keeping it together.

Ok, it's not a matter of the tank being clean or not.

I came into work today and the lights were off. I noticed another snail, upside down looking dead.

I turned on the lights after saying "what the f....??". Something darted off in a direction, way too quick for me to notice what it was. I'm thinking some sort of worm??

If anyone has any suggestions, let me know. I need to figure out what the hell is killing my snails.

its the arrow crab

maybe a mantis

The arrow crab was far away from the snail when I turned on the light. It's not the arrow crab. Arrow crabs are scavengers and I had fed him the night before.

There was something on the snail, I just don't know what it was. It was too fast.

I am guessing that you have another crab in there that you didnt know you had. Try and get a good look at it. Be prepared before you turn on the lights
