Narcissus Snail vs. Blue Legged Hermit Crab

[PhysG]

Wondering if anyone had found any compatibility issues with the narcissus snail and the blue legged hermit crab? I bought three snails at about 4 bucks a piece from the LFS, and now a week later, I find that one of my crabs, is using one of the snail's shell. Dont know wether the snail died, or the crab has escargot for lunch.

The crab killed the snail for its shell. Make no mistake about that. I do not recommend crabs for being part of the clean up crew.
