Fang blenny vs snails?

I have a small canary blenny and really like him. The only problem I have is he tends to nip at nasarius snails during feeding time. I put about 15 snails into the 90 gal tank. Initially during feeding they would all come out of the sand looking for food. After several weeks I have noticed fewer and fewer until now none came out at feeding time. At night I can find a few with a flashlight out feeding. I was wondering if the blenny's bite is killing the snails. He is a curious little fish and does not eat them just nips them and they roll over then crawl off when the coast is clear. Perhaps they die later from the venom.

Thanks
Floyd
