So we have a beautiful Diamond Goby by the name of Maurice. He is an excellent reef mate by all accounts. He’s very active and social. He is also a kidnapper.

Small snails beware, you are in danger.
Good news is he is just taking you to his home for a short hang out and some cuddles. After that you are free to go...until next time.

I assume this is normal behavior he’s very gentle and doesn’t harm them. Just steals them away.
Let me know if you guys have similar stories.
 
My Diamond Goby gathers anything it can carry in its mouth to its home. It is reinforcing his/her home. It does not matter if what it can carry is a bit of algae, an empty clam shell from the fishy breakfast, or a piece of coral found in the tank. Your goby might just be playing house and the snails just crawl away when the goby is not paying attention. LOL
