Has anyone seen this before?

So I got home and saw this. Not sure if I should pull it out or what.

Is that a scoly eating a hermit?

Is that a scoly eating a hermit?

Certainly what it looks like!

Eating a crab or maybe a snail.

Food web baby.
Ever seen a grand paly eat a big pod?

It’s either a hermit or snail. Just don’t know if trying to pull it out would do more harm then good.

I'd totally leave it.

I'd bet it spits it out.
I bet it's empty when it does.

I found my scoly like this once. I left it and the next day no shell could be found and scoly back to normal.

Do they spit out the bad stuff once they've digested it? It's not infrequent that my new scoly, indophyllia, and acanthophyllia get some sand in with the mysis. I realize it's not a good big deal to spit out a big shell, but small sand?

Glad to see the LPS finally eating the critters that usually steal and maim the LPS! I bet the hermit was trying to steal some food out of its mouth and was in for a big surprise! My hermits are little vagrants and won't be replaced when they perish.

Escargot for the Scotty!!

Well it looks like it is spitting it back out.

Thank you for all the replies and help!!!

Apparently, elegance are even better at snailing than scolies are ... mine got one the other day, and I've read that one should expect something of a snail's graveyard to build up 'round an elegance.

So... Was it a snail or hermit? And was anything in there before it came out? Scoly don't have tentacle sweepers do they?
