Nassarius vs Bristle Worm

[sailfin]

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!!!:shock:
I'll be sure to keep my snail like fingers away from the nasses!!!:mrgreen:

I am sorry, but I was too involved to go and get the camera. I wish I had though. Unbelievable.

Hey sailfin!
If you don't have any Eagle Eye's I could give you a 3 or 4 polyp frag at the meeting,but the 19 polyp rock is gone.

Buzz!
