What fish do you have? Most likely, yes, it will.

Mostly tetras an a few barbs don't you think there fast enough to stay out of his reach?
 
I have two Cherax Lorentz crayfish, in a 35Gal tank, in there I also have 4 Glowlight Tetras (was 5) and 2 Diamond Tetras (was 4) So Im sure you see why as well as 2 Apple Snails. That said now some months on, there does seem a better "understanding" amongst everyone in the tank. So my crayfish night or day, seem to tolerate the fish more, so maybe that comes with time, in my opinion.

What is funny though is Crayfish behaviour towards my Apple snails, every few days one of the snails venture into the crayfish hideout and then what unfolds is like watching a Nightclub Bouncer eject an unruly guest, my Crayfish, Dexter, would grip the Apple snail before it goes into protective mode, move towards the exit and just flick it away.
