I have 2 black and white occelaris clown and 5 banggai cardinals with 2 peppermint shrimps and all my snails and hermits were fine.

i added a dwarf rusty angelfish and a aipatasia eating filefish and a watchman goby with 10 cerithe, 10 nerite, 5 nassarius and 1
cleaner shrimp and suddenly all the snails are dead. although the snails i've recently added where seriously really small. i will never order online again. bluezoo aquatics sucks! i'd rather spend a few more cents on my cleaners and get them at a much bigger size at my local fish store.

So even one of my big nassarius from before is now dead. all the small ones from blue zoo actuatics are dead too.

i dont know why. all water parameters are good. is it the filefish? i never see him get close to the snails.

+1 on bluezoo sucking haha.

Its probably the file fish taking them out or hermits if you have any

i have a lot of hermits but my nassarius and other snails live with them peacefully until i added the ones i ordered from bluezoo.

the ones i have before were definitely bigger. the snails and hermits from bluezoo is like smaller than a pea!

this sucks if its the filefish! i ordered him to get rid of my aiptasia and he isn't even touching them.

How did you acclimate them? Inverts can be very sensitive and need to be acclimated slowly, preferably using the drip method.

It also looks like you have added 10 fish to your system very quickly, so your levels could be out of whack. I would recommend that you slow way down or you risk losing everything.
