Sundial snails and softies

I recently discoved a few sundial snails in my reef.I've been picking them out by hand/turkey baster,and doing freshwater dips on my zoa's.Upon doing a FW dip,I noticed a few zoa eating nudis.My question is...Will these snails and nudis eat other softies?...i.e. colts,leathers,etc...I ask because I have several tree leathers and a few sinulara's and I have one of each which kinda look limp.They are standing erect but the polyp extension isn't as great.But as I mention,my other trees and sinulara's are doing great.Any thoughts?
Thanx,
Mike

I think nudibranch will not damage other corals if they really eat zoos, they have a very specialized diet.

About sundials... if you refer to Heliacus sp. as far as I´m concerned they only eat zoos.

Be lucky,

Dani
