Got shrimp?

[Moe_K]

First of two links I'll post.
This one is a cuttlefish dining on ghost shrimp.
I posted this over in our RC forum a while back.
Rich Ross made these videos. He's out on the West Coast. Nice guy.
Anyway, here's the first movie, it's long but has a cool soundtrack:

Oh yeah, if you're a dial up user, you may wanna give this a pass. Definitely a broadband site.

Much shorter presentation of an angler fish making short work of damsels.

If you ever had a Damsel you would not feel that way!!

Natural predation in action.
I figure whether you keep triggers, groupers, or sharks... they gotta be fed.
Didja see that angler in the very last seconds depoly his lure? What a freakin' fisherman.
To me it's the same beauty as falconry. A master predator at work. Just a huge part of nature taking course.
Each to their own, I guess.

Any fish that will eat a damsel is OK in my books
