    Another link:

    Platyhelminthes (Flatworms)

    Amazingly enough, they can kill and eat any mollusc they can surround. They don't seem to be picky about which species, but they are extremely efficient cowry killers.

    Cheers,


    Don

    :p Sorry Phx...by the way, that species is hardy and is easy to keep, but you have to keep feeding them snails. If you have them in a tank with a cleanup crew, they will eat them all eventually...conchs, Nassarius, Turbos, ceriths, and any other snail.

    Yep!, That's exactly what it is! I threw a couple of snail shells in the jug just to give it some cover and it wrapped all three of them up completely. Maybe thats why I can't keep snails lately. It moves like something out of a Blob movie :)

    Think I'll flush it... THANKS for the quick replies

    Jeff
    BTW- Mine is even bigger than that one.
