Thank you all so much for your help. I caught him or her tonight. He was after one of my giant snails (after he killed my little ones I bought giant ones). I knocked him loose from the big snail then he went for a small hermit crab. I got the figgi rock out and put it in cold water--he finally went to the bottom of the rock. I had to pick him out. I put him in my sump to see if it is still alive. I plan on taking a picture of him----will get my daughter to help me send a picture so you guys can tell me exactly what he is. Thank You again!

You only need to write it all down if you need help with water, fish, invert issues usually.


Glad you got that nasty crab out! I hate crabs. There's nothing a snail can't do that a crab does and they don't eat your livestock if you get the right snails!

Can't wait to see a picture. I have a large white tip that killed a bunch of snails and destroyed a coral by stealing the shell the frag came in on. I broke the section off that had the frag on it and he lived through it and still trudges around in the half decimated shell.
