Coral-eating shell - Coralliophilia? sp.

A small loose species of coral is often found in deeper algae patches and is preyed upon by a small coral eating Coralliophilid shell that always seem to attract a bright red sponge that covers it. If you look close you can see the extended transparent sponge membrane that if touched will quickly deflate. Each shell was 10mm.
