    and by the way the xenia didnt die. it was happier than ever pulsing and standing tall. it was just a really really really small one and i say it ate it because the snail was on it for like 10 min and then nothing was there. i couldnt take it off cause it would of taken it with it. my water parameters are perfect and still are. i test it every day and do a water change weekly.

    Um you said it "ate it" generally when something eats something that means it's gone and likely dead. If it didn't eat it and everything is all good then what is the whole point in the post???? It's a little hard to get "all the facts" when "all the facts" aren't stated jftr.

    You said "it didn't die" I guess I assume when something is eaten, it is gone, therefore it dies. Maybe I'm just slow and don't comprehend the english language.
