Yes clown loaches LOVE snails. It is their specialty. Have a snail infestation, get some clown loaches and your snail problem will be cleared up.

I would suggest that you put that snail in a different fishtank to keep it alive. Otherwise you won't have it anymore if it is in with the clown loach.

I do the driftwood/snail tank thing.

Have a tank set aside for snails. Every so long, switch out a piece of driftwood in the snail tank for one in the loach tank. The loaches go on the hunt. The downside is your filter intakes will fill with shells.
