Eulimids are parasites of echinoderms – seastars, brittle stars, sea urchins & kin. Species that are external parasites have a long proboscis to reach deep into the host’s body. They probably feed on nutrient-rich gonads. (3/7)

Small snail with tall conical transparent shell. The body is white spotted with bright red. It is crawling over the arm of a bright red sea-lily (crinoid). You can’t see the proboscis, but let’s imagine that it’s hunting around inside the crinoid in search of something to eat.
