Wow! Can RES actually get into those size mussels? I would not have imagined them to have that ability.

I have noticed an 1 1/4" BG we had in the aquarium would peck at the exposed part of the snails we had in with him.

Maybe the RES get hold of the body of the mussel when it is emerged and down in the mud?
