That is absolutely not true, you can Google search for "Babylonia diet" or "Babylonia feeding" and read the scientific papers on the subject. You are repeating the LFS/distributor line, and even the name "Tiger Nassarius" or "Fancy Nassarius" is intended to deceive, I believe, or they'd just call them Babylon Snails. They will scavenge, but they are predators.
