eating my feather duster with gusto!

[Gr8birds]

This very strong little guy, about the size of a large pea, was chowing on my feather duster tonight. Have never seen him in the tank before. I removed him because he was damaging the duster and will be bringing him into the local fish store tomorrow to see if they want it. Any thoughts? Thanks!:shrug:

The obvious to me would be some sort of Nassarius :) But I had no idea they ate coco worms!?!

That's what I thought too. But everything I read said Nassarius didn't eat the dusters. He ate the casing and chewed random holes in the other casings. Weird!
So, I am not sure. Thanks for getting back though.

Just did a bit more research, and based on the behavior of the guy, it looks to be a Whelk? Says they "drill" holes in stalks and will kill clams, worms etc., and will only go on the sand if necessary. I have never seen it on anything but the rock or the duster. Looks like the pic I took too. Anymore thoughts? lol
