I saw a thread on planet catfish where a member was asking about H subviridis (L200) eating snails. His tank was overrun with rams horn snails and he had added 15 assassin snails. After adding the phantom all the assassins and copious numbers of ramshorn snails where dead and missing from their shells.
Have any of you phantom keepers experienced this?
Yes, I have intentionally posted this in the invert section for the potential of another snail predator.

Nope. I've only seen subviridis (both blue and green) occasionally mouthing and sucking at the shells of medium or large-ish snails; none seemed to show much active interest in consuming snail innards, and I never noticed any empty shells lying about.
