My sea urchin looks like he's eating a snail?

[Scatcat]

Is this possible I just got a shipment of snails and now it looks like my sea urchin is eating one. Is this at all possible? My hermits are harassing them too. I know some of them are dead but I put them in there until I could figure out which ones are alive and which ones are dead. I now looks like I have a snail farm. I'm a little concerned I have too many.

10 or 11 margarita snails (looks like tops)
20 narssius sp? black snails

Urrrg I have snails everywhere.

Yes urchins eat snails. I got one that eats the big turbos.

Well it's that lovely how do you stop them from this?

Take it out and dump it in your sump, or if you don't have a sump take it to your lfs first thing in the morning.

Oh and BTW,

Don't take life too seriously; No one gets out alive.

This is so true it's actually funny.

Or let it eat the turbo and go buy another...
They don't hunt them... IT'll be a few weeks apart that they find eachother... I'd keep em both !

Ya, every couple of weeks is not to bad. The snails cost about 1.00. My tank looks like a snail farm right now anyway.
