P4076446 - Checkered hairysnails under the “heads” of calcareous tubeworms. They are “kleptoparasites” and are stealing the worms' food! “When parasitizing, the snail extends its pseudoproboscis through the feeding tentacles of the worm and into the worm's mouth. Using cilia on the pseudoproboscis, the snail draws food from the suspension-feeding worm's mouth soon after the worm ingests the particles.”* *http://www.malacsoc.org.uk/malacological_bulletin/BULL37/IYEN.HTM
