Mulberry whelks, also known as Nucella lapillus, are primarily consumed by various marine predators, including sea stars, crabs, and some species of fish. Birds, particularly shorebirds, also feed on them by breaking open their shells. Additionally, humans in some cultures may harvest and eat them as a seafood delicacy.

Yes, the mulberry whelk (Echinolittorina malaccana) is known to prey on various types of mollusks, including the ribbed top shell (Gibbula umbilicalis). These whelks use their radula, a tongue-like organ with tiny teeth, to scrape and consume the shells of their prey. This predator-prey relationship is part of the natural ecosystem dynamics in marine environments.

Small fish generally do not eat whelks, as whelks are marine snails with hard shells that are difficult for fish to consume. However, some predatory fish may prey on juvenile whelks or their eggs.
