My cleaner has never attacked my snails.
They were alive, and the shrimp was killing/eating the snail, or the shrimp was just cleaning out the shell of a dead snail? That sounds reall odd. You may want to trade the shrimp back to the lfs for credit. |

My cleaner shrimp completely ignores my nassarius snails but nails another species of snail that came on my live rock. Guess it's a individual preference.

They will clean up the dead snails, but will not attack them viciously for eating.

I have heard that hermit crabs would, maybee your thinking hermits?
 They do this to get some food and a new bigger shell when they grow.Because eventually they outgrow their old shell and need to find a replacement.
