    Nice video, thanks. I kept one for a while. Sometimes they sting their prey before they eat them, and sometimes they seem to hypnotize the fish and just engulf them. This is Conus geographus, by the way, the most deadly (to humans) of all cone snails.

    I kept expecting the snail to sting that goatfish but nooo. LOL Of course I love my sleep just like that fish and would be an easy meal for a monster myself. ;D
