As a point of interest, my two little platties have eaten the right eyestalk, and greater feeler off my black apple snail. I'm not entirely sure but I think they got part of his breather tube too and since he's a he probably his sexual bits as well *ouch*. They've also pecked a good part of his shell away on that side towards the normal opening. They aren't underfed and they have a varied diet. I think they reason they are doing it is over-crowding (planning a 20 gal).
The good thing is if he survives it'll all grow back but poor snail. And they are actually eating it....they aren't spitting him back out.
I knew fish would oppotunisticly eat anything that would fit in their mouths but the snail is bigger than they are 8O
