RPE eating snail

[mfinn]

I had a frag with about a dozen of some really nice RPE's on it and I noticed it didn't look good at all. I got out my magnifying glass and I found this snail buried in the half eaten polyps.
I know what sundial snails look like and this guy does not have the same color pattern at all. But it does have the cone shaped operculum(sp?) and I guess if you look really close you can see a little checker board pattern. This guy is tiny compaired to the other sundial snails I've found. It's about 1/8" in dia.

Have you checked all of your colonies?
I don't want these terrorists going after my intrests!:eek1:

Believe me I'm looking. But it's really hard to see the little bastards when they are this color.
I'm used to seeing them like this, and I have seen quite a few.

Martin,
Whatever you have to do, do it.
I can hear my frags screaming from here! :eek1:
