Will assassin snails attack and kill my nerite snail?

I don't have the assassin snails yet but I've ordered some to help deal with my snail population in my planted 10 gallon tank. Now I already have a nerite snail in that tank but some people say that assassin snails will gang up on bigger snails and will kill them.

Others say they don't bother bigger snails. Should I move my nerite snail into my planted 30 gallon or will it be OK in my 10 gallon with the assassin snails

    Move your Nerites into another tank. The Assassins don't care that the Nerites aren't supposed to be on the menu. They simply attack snails and eat them.

    You should get bigger assassin snails so they take the bigger snails
