It's a fact, Olives are predators and like fresh meat.  In my aquarium
they loved fresh fish.  They will pick up small univalves and store them
in the back of their foot which they tuck under to form a purse and just
keep on crawling or burrow in the gravel with their prey.  I've seen it
many times.
