Why do little pin holes in sea shells continue forming after taken out of the water?

Here's what I've just learned when taking a one-hour marine class at the Loggerhead museum in Juno Beach, Florida:
Mullusks (which are snails, slugs, mussels and even octopuses which can be as small as 3-inches!) prey on other species of shells by "drilling" with their mouth-parts. After their puncture, they insert that part into the shell-victim's body, and well, such is the eco-system.
Only today did I collect about 20 of such shells to bring back to Massachusetts for friends who may wish to wear these beach jewels around their neck.
