![]() Yeah, naughty little bugs. I too have seen cleaners and peppermints go to town on smaller snails. Forget having Stomatella snails for example in any tank with shrimp.
The basic rule is don't trust anything with claws. Some are just pretty enough to look enough the other way when it comes to questionable feeding habits, like cleaner shrimp or other Lysmata sp.

![]() Do you feed your shrimp? Many people do not assuming they will get all they need scavenging. Same goes with hermits. Try target feeding them they may just behave for you.

![]() I have had cleaner shrimp for most of the 20yrs. I have been reefing and should say this is the first time I have noticed this behavior with them. Important word is "noticed". ![]()
