Nano Reefer Ky Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 (I posted this in my build journal so it could be included there as well.) Check it out. My newest acan frag ate a snail. In this pic you can see the shell sticking out of the acan's mouth. The snail was in there for a couple days and then I noticed the shell laying on the rock near the acan. The shell was empty. Crazy if the acan really ate the snail and spit the shell out... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bige Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 They do eat them. Mine ate every single dwarf snail I had. When I first added them, the acans were full of snails. Not sure if they snagged them going by or if they fell from the glass but they are all gone now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nano Reefer Ky Posted August 13, 2014 Author Share Posted August 13, 2014 Haha. That's crazy! I had no idea they could eat snails. Pretty smart animals for what they are working with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nano Reefer Ky Posted August 15, 2014 Author Share Posted August 15, 2014 Really cool. He gets to eat with out having a snail steal his food. Maybe that's what happened...hmmm... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
