When attacking their prey, most of the fish-hunting cone snails (e.g., C. striatus, C. magus, C. stercusmuscarum and C. consors) inject deadly venom by means of a disposable harpoon-like radular tooth into the fish (~3-50 μL at a velocity of ~200 m/s) and immobilize the fish within 2 to 3 s, before engulfing it with a large distensible rostrum [15].
