I have had many different coments where people were telling me that Tiger Cowries were not Reef Safe. They say that they ate many of thier star polyps or zoanthids. I beleive that this happened but i don't beleive that is a typical trait for Tiger Cowries, there are always rare occurences of reef animals doing something that has been destructive to thier reefs. What is your opinion on this, or what have you experienced with tiger cowries. These animals are scavengers so they will eat something that has already died or if they are desperate because of a lack of algea, they might eat a few polyps. But for the most part, this does not happen. Do you agree or disagree?:rolleyes:
