Thank you for the information. I know that cone snails are poisonous and read that this one isn`t, but on several places, I also read that helena is poisonous as well, so I wasn`t sure .

Interesting vid..
'clea helena' also known as 'assassin snail' (because it kills/eats other snails).
I had some of those in an aquarium at one time.
@DrJeckyll
They are not poisonous. (my understanding is there are similar marine snails that do inject venom that does what you mention)

Indeed. But I have one question. There is different information about its feeding on the net. According to one, it stings the victim, injects the chemical which dissolves the tissue, which is then sucked, and according to the second it just uses an organ, covered with similar teeth as snails to grasp the tissue, so no chemicals are involved. Which is true?
