If it's holes being bored then I'm thinking "other gastropod" (eg. oyster drill or similar).

Yeah, dead snails are one of the foulest smells in the hobby. Dead anemone is pretty bad too. I think snails (ie. when there's still a bit of flesh left to rot) are probably the worst smell I've encountered so far. And a hobby like ours with so many fragrant aroma's .. that's saying a lot.

How about another Mollusk? Do you have any Red Footed/Orangefoot Moon Snails (Norrisia norrisii) from the Eastern Pacific? Not only are they known to eat film algae; they are known to secrete a chemical to soften shells of their prey and use their radula to rasp a hole in its shell. Clams beware!!!
