Default Do any snails eat zoas?

I put two little rocks with zoas in my nano last night and noticed that my unidentified hitchhiker snail rushed over to it as soon as the lights went out. I segregated the snail in case it damages the zoas.

Are any snails capable of hurting zoas? Would it be poisoned if it tried? The snail is about 1/2 inch long, black and yellow. I thought it might be a bumble bee snail because of the colours, but from the pictures I've seen their stripes are more regular.

Regards,
Nevin

Bumble bees are zoa eaters

Default Thanks!

Good to know. It doesn't look like the sundials--probably a bumble bee. Guess it has to go, anyway...

Regards,
Nevin
