My LFS has a couple of these guys in -- magnificent looking wee beast.

I have some small starfish (not brittle stars) and I think they MIGHT be eating the stuff, but it's hard to tell.

Yup, something shelled in my tank has reproduced. Either my snails (a couple of types) or my fighting conch. Tons of the little guys on my glass at night.
