The Chank snail is in the
univalve species and is a predator attacking seastars and smaller
bivalves for food it travels through the sand feeling its way with a
projection called a proposcius when it feels its prey it will grab the
animal with its giant foot and "hold on" as it drills a hole into the
shell in which it excretes an enzyme that dissolves the prey, then the
Chank sucks the animal out through the hole which it created.
