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!!!
