I think they are referred to as Sundial snails. I am seriously considering putting a couple of these in my tank. I have way too many Palythoa's in my tank, they are seriously out of control. Does anybody know if they will eat these things? Or do they tend to prey on the colonial Zooanthids more?
Also has anybody ever tried this and do they prey on any other types of coral?

Thanks, Augie

No they will eat just the zoanthids, no other corals. I am not sure if they will eat palys. I dont think so, but I am not sure.

Anybody else know if they will eat the Paly's? I've got some nice colonies of Zoo's I am going to trade in if I add the snails. If I don't I'd prefer keeping them.
