Do olive snails eat Nassarius snails? I brought home about 20 nassarius vibex the other day, the lights were off by the time i finished acclimating them but when I added them I could have sworn I saw an olive snail come up and consume one in a quick swoop, then last night I saw an olive snail chasing around a nassarius, he kicked away but I swear he was being hunted? So does it happen from time to time or are they a part of their diet?
