we've had our tank a little over a year and we're having a lot of issues with snails and hermits lately. i know that about 2 months ago we put in 20 of the larger snails and about 50 hermits. now we have a handful of snails left alive (been pulling out the dead ones) and have only been able to spot about 4 hermits. is there something that could be killing them so fast? our very first snails and hermits lived long happy lives. every now and then i'll see one or two come out at night but that's it. we're also clearing up after a dino problem. any ideas?

first off, hoping to rule out mantis... the snails usually just die, no pierced shells or cracked. the contents usually aren't gone completely either.
second, we acclimate everything for a good hour. and yes, he has a refractometer to check salinity.
not sure what else could be doing this.
