Conus striatus foraging. Upper left, the snail has extended its yellow proboscis after detecting a fish. Right panel, the snail has just stung the fish, and the fish is immobilized with extremely stiff fins. The harpoon-like tooth extends out of the proboscis (see arrow). Lower left, the snail has retracted its proboscis, and is about to completely engulf the immobilized fish.
