Slugs & Snails

I heard once that there is another species of snail, which actually eats
the common garden snail, but is not native to California, where I live
(neither is the garden snail, having been imported from europe).  Does
anyone know about this creature, or is it a myth?  If it exists, I
wonder what else it eats, (any rare species that might be decimated
here?).  It would seem that the garden snail has no "natural" predators
in its Calfornia habitat, at least.  We do have lots of racoons here,
having greatly increased in number in the last 20 years, which might
munch on snails ocassionally, except they live so well off garbage
instead.  If they do eat them, they sure haven't made any dent in the
population.
