just wondering if a bumble bee snail is gonna be ok in my zoa tank. almost everything I've read and found says there ok, but the LFS says there not. I'd like to have one but i don't want it killing my collector zoa's.
Yes?
No?
no facts but i think Yes :)

I would say you shouldn't get them just because they will eat your other snails that are in there if there are some in there.

While alluring due to their attractive coloration, Bumble Bee snails (Engina mendicaria) (Pusiostoma mendicaria) are not the best choice for the tropical marine aquarium with a deep sand bed. The reason for this is that Bumble Bee snails are carnivores and will prey on beneficial fauna in the sand bed. There is also some anecdotal evidence that they will feed on zooanthids and polyps.
for a rare zoa tank its not worth the risk. IMO
