Although the following creatures appear to have a very peaceful and tiny
bodies, it does not prevent making it a deadly
meaning it can feed on larger creatures after seting up traps.
Starfish
You may not believe it, but there are predator starfishes, although they
usually attack slow moving preys or none moving like snails, and Coral reefs, surprisingly it is able to catch faster and more intelligent creatures,
such as shrimps and fishes, some starfish hunt their food by extending its twisted arms
like traps, other types has microscopic pliers that hold on the skin of other
passing creatures, but the strangest of them all is those that stand on its arms to mimic a tent, and when sea creatures
go under searching for shelter the
starfish falls on it preventing it from running and then of course it swallows
it up ..
sea squirts
the sea squirts are one of those creatures known for their stability in
one place, they feed on plankton by filtering them from water by taking in water
through its mouth and then out of an opening on top of its body, but in the deep
sea there is was no plankton, which led to the evolution of these sea squirts
to have a bigger mouths enough for bigger preys, they hunt them by closing
their mouth when they pass by.
Sea Snail
The snails are considered the slowest creature on land , but marine
species of it are pretty fast, they feed on some of the tentacles of jellyfishes
which are highly toxic acquiring by that the toxic cells from it, as "cone
snails" they can parlays fish and sometimes humans, there are also some predators
snails on land, but rare, such as "rosy wolf snail" which feeds on
other snails, and also there are the "ghost slug" which lives under
the ground, it is blind and feeds on worms.
