great write up
When I was watching this snail on what was left of my sps frag, I could see it sucking out the inside. It almost looked like it was drinking out of a straw. I never actually saw a straw, but thats what it looked like. Kind of like a Vampire.
Did you click the link? This particular one eats SPS.
Why are they such bad news? Out of curiosity.
Those darn whelks are worthless. I put a few in my quarantine tank to keep it clean of algae between new arrivals, but in the end I didn't trust them with my livestock. Now I just look for them and remove them entirely.
