    My Valentini is VERY happy that this snail isnt reef safe...if he had a tongue that could lick his chops, he would of been doing it when he saw me coming his way to throw that snail into the aggressive tank..lol

    I am in the same boat, but I have about 25 in my tank. Mattheuw1 and I got our snails from the same person.

    All 4 of my clams have had no issues.

    I do feed my tank pretty well though.
