Would A Snowflake Eat My CUC?

[rastaangel]

I am lookin for something to fill the vacant unactive bottom level with some fish life and today I found a nice say 8" long snowflake. I was gonna get a fu man chu but he was sold before I could get him.
I was wondering if he would eat all my CUC? I currently have 2 big turbos, 10ish trochus, and 10ish small nassisius snails? I doubt he could eat the turbos cuz there like 3" but the others are alot smaller, the nassarius are only the size of a dime

I would never say never but I have never had any problems with snowflake if you keep them fed. They would go for any shrimp you have sooner or later but I doubt the snails.
I actually have two cleaner shrimp in one of my tanks that have been there over a year with my snowflake. I know sooner or later, one of them will come down off the rocks at the wrong time.
My snowflake is pretty well mannered, I feed a little to the fish which brings him out, feed him, and then finish feeding the fish. He knows the routine and stays in the rock work except when he comes out at feeding time.

If well fed, the only CUC members that are usually eaten are very small hermits and shrimps of any sort. Snails are usually safe unless you have an ill mannered snowflake eel.

I forgot I have hermits... theres about 20 of them and they are small... I also have a horseshoe crab...
SO would it be able to go after a large turbo even if he was hungry and in a bad mood? Cuz if not i will trade all my snails and hermits in for afew more turbos... I have no shrimp or my lions would have ate them before they hit the bottom of the tank

My snowflake took a huge bite out of one of my snails, but has never done it again. He prefers frozen krill over anything

I feed my Snowflake silversides with feeding tongs, and thats all he cares to eat. I have blue leg hermits, trochus snails, margarita snails, turbos and astreas, and he has never tried anything with them. Just keep him fed and he will more than likely leave his neighbors alone.

I have a Tesselated and the only thing on my CUC hewent after was a Shrimp or Sally Lightfoot. He leaves anything in a sheel alone my Hermits are fine from him however my Luatic Wrasse aka Luare wrasse take great pleasure in moving them all the time. It will grab one pick it up move it 3 feet and drop it. Now my SFE I have had in the past never did bother any of my CUC I had.
