Bubble tip vs nassarius snail

[eliramos]

So I went to feed my nem some shrimp and as usual the nassarius smelled the food, however this guy had some serious snail balls and dove headfirst into the nem. I think he managed to steal some food so I tried to re feed him and he wouldn't take it. Could the nassarius damage the nem? The nassarius was able to escape but do you think he will die?
Just curious of this little spat!
Anyone have any experience with this

I highly doubt the snail harmed the nem, but unsure on the reaction the other way if the skin touched the nem I am not sure what would happen. If a bad reaction were to happen it would be fairly quick IMO.

Thanks for the response!
Hopefully that'll teach the snail to keep his hands to himself!

Haha maybe.

I've had some nassarius think about taking on the sebae, but they choose not to. I have the same issue when feeding. If I feed while the melanurus is awake, I risk his stupidity on taking on the haddoni. If I feed at night, the snails and crabs get feisty, smh

I had a snail take on a Condy, he was gone pretty quick!

Lol this little guy was pretty ballsy
I fed him again today and this time my twin spot wrasse got a little ballsy needless to say he learned his lesson he was itching his face for 5 minutes lol
If my nem was a little bigger I'm sure both the snail and wrasse would be goners lol
