Only thing I can thing of is that the clams died and the snails decided to eat them. I don't think the snails would have killed or eaten the clams alive!

you have a positive ID as nassarius?
hopefully you don't have predatory whelks:eek1:

I had some whelks in my tank a while back that I got rid of before aquiring any clams. They look very similar to nassarius sp.

Often times a clam can appear perfectly healthy on the outside but can actually be very sick. Your snails may have sensed that the clam was ready to die and started moving in for an expensive snack.
