I don't know of any conches that eat corals, however the horse conches (Pleuroploca sp.) and possibly other will actively seek meat for consumption. I imagine this mostly means other molluscs, as crustaceans tend to be fairly well-defended and piscine prey is likely rather difficult to catch when you are a rock the size of a football travelling a manner much like a drunk frat boy.
