Description
As its name suggests, the atlantic oyster drill (Urosalpinx cinerea) is capable of "drilling" through oyster shells to feed on the flesh inside. Though native to the North American east coast, this predator has been accidentally introduced throughout the world. Atlantic oyster drill is a major pest species for commercial oyster farms, capable of decimating populations while they are too young for human harvesting.
