sorry about the late reply. i looked for some references on this snail and couldn't find anything on the feeding behavior .everything i found related to trading the shell but nothing about the snail it self

I'd like to know more about them too, I have two in my refugium. I can only find info on them as a food source. I guess if they do anything bad, like wiping out all life from my sandbed, I'll eat them with some Butter and Garlic!

While I am not sure if they were specifically Babylonia spirata, I have had a Babylonia sp. in my store multiple times and found them to be voracious, but harmless, feeders.

Fenner posts similar findings for Babylonia and gives them a harmless review on wetwebmedia.
