Nassarius vs Bristle Worm
Maybe I am the only one that doesn't know this, but I am going to post it anyway. Imagine, if you will, a bristle worm crawling up the tank via the nice silicone corner. A nassarius quickly emerges from the dusty bed of sand. The tank of a snail races up the corner behind the worm. Upon reaching its destination the snail takes a snip out of the worms a**!!! The worm wiggles in great pain! Gets away momentarily, but the snail is relentless. It latches onto the worm and starts to suck it into itself. Being a worm the bristle breaks into and floats away to "safety" The snail, full, returns to the dusty sandbed from which it came.
I did not know the snails did this!!!  I'll be sure to keep my snail like fingers away from the nasses!!!

Re: Nassarius vs Bristle Worm
I am sorry, but I was too involved to go and get the camera. I wish I had though. Unbelievable.
