Bumble bee snails

Anybody have these? Are they a good part of the CUC. My LFS has some and they are kind of cool. What do you think? What do they eat?
 
I have some. There are some people that believe they will eat corals. For that reason, I'm not replacing mine as they die.

Though peaceful, keep in mind that the Bumble Bee Snail is a carnivore. If there is insufficient food, the Bumble Bee Snail may feed on other snails in your aquarium or indiscriminately consume polychaetes whether beneficial or the more troublesome bristleworm. In well-established systems, most Bumble Bee Snails do not require supplemental feeding. However, if sufficient food sources are unavailable, supplement their diet with offerings of meaty foods, including finely chopped brine or mysis shrimp and frozen meaty foods.
