Snail Eating My Clams Foot?!
Hi everyone,
Hoping someone might be able to help me with this one. I might be mistaken but to me it looks like this snail was eating the foot on my clam?!
The clam sits on the sand and has been fine for a couple of months, but I bought a clean up crew pack from reefsecrets around 2 weeks ago and I believe this is one of the snails from that pack. I didn't think it was normal for any of the cuc snails to eat living stuff?! It looks like it had knocked the clam over and when I looked at the base it was stringy, perhspa partially eaten?
What do you guys think?
Excuse the blurry pic, was the best I could get:
Snail has been relegated to the hob refugium but if it's dangerous I'll get rid of it asap.
Thanks everyone
