A great video. However the triton doesn't have a 'stinger'. That which I think they are calling a stinger is actually an eye-stalk. Tritons use their large shells to typically pin down their prey and then use a special structure called a radula to eat their prey.
i am not quite sure if seastar is realy a dinner here, but i tell u one thing....the way u filmed it... it looks awesome!!!! very beautiful video capture. Awesome snail..and star.....

i dont think its eating the star fish. nothing eats a star fish (exsept crazy chineese people) snail ony eat sea weed. i think the seastar is eating it. star fish usaly cover the shell of a (clam,crap,lobster,snial,ect) at eat it from there, poor snail i wonder if you helped.
The Triton trumpet is in fact a predator to sea stars and mollusks
The crown of thorns was fed to the triton trumpet in the video. The footage was taken in Kauai where crown of thorn sea stars are a nuisance that kill coral. They were introduced some time in the past and have been a problem for some time
You are right Crash, the Crown of thorns is a poisonous sea star, but the "snail" or Triton Trumpet is a natural predator of the crown of thorns sea star.
Battle... fight!

It's funny that the music is so peaceful when the seastar is probably going...

I'd be tempted to believe the starfish/sea star was eating the snail, as they do clams, oysters & other mullosks

yes, the blurb about "the stinger" needs to be removed. it's the radula that transmits the paralysing saliva, causing the crown of thorns to go limp.

@Intrafacial86 yes. It might've been better off with suspenseful music or maybe the music that plays when godszilla fights another monster
