Clown Fish Killing Hermits and Snails?

I have a Clarki Clown and I suspect that he is killing my hermits and snails. I saw him ram a snail the other night with his head. I have also seen him pick up a hermit body, though I didn't see him pull him from his shell. Over the past month I have lost several hermits and snails. Do y'all think the Clarki might be the reason?

The Nitrates are around 20 (but coming down), but everything else seems to be good. The water is in the best shape it has been in during the last year (I went through tank neglect), so I'm fairly sure its not the water. I pulled the hermit body out and it was meaty, not just an exoskeleton. I've just been seeing a lot less hermits and snails lately and I know I have a mean Clarki.
