The answer is: Yes!!!!!!. This morning I came downstairs and turned on the MH and to my excitement the CA looked kinda cool(pic1)102890..after a while it opened and....(pic 2)102891well lets just let the pic's explain....102892102893102894102895102896102897102 898 All of this transpired in about 2 hours...and I have no idea how long he was in the stomach of the CA. It as trying to get him out of there, but I helped a little (making sure I didn't tear anything). The CA is about 8-9" inches in diameter and the freaking Mexican Turbo Snail is about a 1 1/2 to 2". Have had them both for close to six months and have never seen anything like it...Just thought I would share. Hope you enjoy.

( I set the snail do...very far away.. and in 20 minutes he walked away)

I've heard of a carpet anemone eating a Morish Idol before.

I watched a Stichodactyla gigantea Carpet eat a 12" long Naso lituratus once, so the answer is yes.

LOL.. well others have already responded.. but yes.. those can eat big fish so a snail would be just a little snack.
