REMARKS
The beautiful cone shell is a hunter, using venomous harpoons to kill its prey.
Most feed on worms but some species specialise in feeding on other shells and a few feed on fish.
Being slow moving, the cone shell needs a potent venom so their prey doesn't have a chance to swim or crawl out of reach.

Fish and Colour
One of the most important reasons is communication. With most fish lacking any form of vocalization, the only way to communicate is by sight. This is very important at breeding time and camouflage is another important aspect which makes them less vulnerable to predators and also helps them blend into the coral environment.
