Having a particular way of removing outer bits from crusty larvae (6)

I believe the answer is:

stylar

'having a particular way' is the definition.
(showing a certain style)

'removing outer bits from crusty larvae' is the wordplay.
'removing outer bits from' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue.
'STYLAR' is hidden within 'crusty larvae'.

'of' is the link.

(Another definition for stylar that I've seen is " Like a hand, perhaps".)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
