I heard a loud grinding noise coming from the living room, and in my head I was thinking a pump just bit the dust. I have a maxijet on the skimmer and another one on a reactor, so I figured it was my older pump giving up the ghost. I could hear it two rooms away, so I rushed in to check on it. It turns out to be a very brave snail that took on my MP10. It took him a bit to decide not to keep pushing his way into the propeller. He may need an Advil now. He decided to stand down and now all is quiet.
Man, what a loud noise coming from my reef!!

I'm convinced the only things snail are good at is losing their homes to hermit crabs. Seems every time I add a snail, I end up with a very happy crab. And it's not like they don't have empty shells to choose from. Greedy. :crossedlips:

That is one thing that worries me about vortech pumps.
I cut back on hermits to keep snails. I would rather have an assortment of snails than hermits. Right now I have a few scarlet reef hermits that are way less aggressive than others. So far so good (knock on wood).
I guess that is a potential problem. I had this running for maybe 2 years without an incident. I think he was just bored or maybe suicidal due to the economy.

My lawnmower blenny uses a vortech for sleeping.It lays on the sides where the vortech intake slots are and it stays there all night.
That is crazy.
