I've kept aquatic snails and land snails in fish tanks and, assuming it's standard silicone sealant, none of mine have ever shown any interest in chomping it. The aquatic ones may well rasp algae off it, though, as silicon seems to attract algae growth sometimes. Doing so won't damage the sealant. if they look like they're eating it, they're probably looking for algae rather than craving silicone
