Happily for humans, the animals which inhabit the beautiful cone shells are nocturnal. Hunters by nature, many carry a toxic concoction which is capable of killing humans; in fact, the venom from one geographer cone (Conus geographus) is capable (in theory of course,) of killing 700 people.

What do mollusks eat?

Mollusks eat all kinds of things. The cephalopods (octopii, squids, and their allies) are predators of fish and other marine life. Most bivalves are pretty much herbivorous, feeding primarily on algae, though some are predators. The gastropods are also mixed, with some herbivorous, such as abalones, and some carnivorous predators, such as moon snails, oyster drills, and cone shells. Incidentally, some cone shells (Family Conidae) are poisonous enough to kill people!food
