[vfg10]

Hello

Depends on species of moss and snail. Most snails are an indicator of an underlying problem (for example, overfeeding), but almost none eat live plants.

The little snails tend to be pests and are harmless. The larger snails tend to be pond snails and will eat live plants (apple snails)

Pond snails are not apple snails, also apple snails do not eat live plants unless they are starving close to the point of death. There are a couple of species, such as cana., which look similar to apple snails, but do eat plants.
