Description: "First, we have the venus fly trap sea anemone, animal posing as flower, it waits patiently. To prey it's attractive or at least unassuming. Looking like a plant, they don't sense the danger looming. Curious creatures swim in for closer inspection, to become the anemone's next meal selection. The smallest movement or pressure will trigger the trap. The response is so sudden, it closes with a snap. Now enveloped in their venomous appendages, the captured and paralyzed prey are their hostages. If you think starfish are precious, then you've never seen, the elaborate ways of this killing machine. Their suction tube feet pry their prey's shell open a crack to shove its stomach in for an acid attack. This deadly guest, clams, scallops, and oysters can't expel, will start to dissolve them alive right in their own shell. The starfish pulls its stomach in after round one, and food goes with it to complete its digestion. Hydroids are animals who hang out and eat plankton. Colorful sea slugs will wait for their meal to be done, before they select and eat the hydroids that just ate. This is a novel 2-in-1 meal the slugs create. Steal an organism and its last meal in a bite. These slugs are gorgeous but deadly kleptoparasites. The basket star has the echinoderm charm looking like a huge starfish with curly arms, or a bundle of baby snakes in the sea. Its five arms covered in branches like a tree. Barbs cover their twisty, creepy arm branches, to entangle its prey as it advances. Enveloped in the harpoon-like tentacles, the prey's shoved in the mouth of the pentacle. If your friend's a moon snail, I hope you're not a clam. Never tell him where you live; you'll soon be in a jam. He'll show up uninvited and let himself right in. He'll stay long enough to eat, like he's your closest kin. There's no use in hiding, don't lock your shell up tight. He's got the tools to get in. You can't put up a fight. Kinda like a burgalar, he drills a tiny hole. Really like a kidnapper, cause you'll be what he stole. If that wasn't bad enough, there's a nasty enzyme, that's secreted from him mouth, employed to save some time. Finally his hole's complete, it now will spell your doom. All this time you've been waiting, closed off in your tiny room. The hole he made appears small but that is all he needs. You will be sucked through a tube, since that is how he feeds."
