Copperbanded Butterfly eating Nassarius Snail Tubes

I just noticed today at feeding time when all of my snails came out my CB systematically went around to each one and tried to eat their tubes. The snails seemed to recover and started moving around but I didn't see any tubes on them, I am not sure if they are gone or if they are retracted. But I watched my CB actually checking each of them out after he had already munched on them to see if their tubes were out again so that he could have another bite. Anyone else have this problem? Will the tubes grow back?
