The eulimids are a family of snails which are almost always parasites. Most species have evolved to live with a particular echinoderm (starfish, sea-urchin, brittle-star, sea-cucumber). This unnamed species from New Caledonia lives on this brittle-star. It feeds on the brittle-star by drilling into its body. The white sacs are the eulimid's egg sacs (2mm).
