The Triton snails are fighting back! 🐌💥 Here, a mighty Triton takes on one of the Reef’s most destructive predators — the Crown of Thorns Starfish (COTS). Giant Triton Snails are one of the very few natural predators of COTS, which feed on live coral and can cause widespread damage during outbreaks. Seeing a Triton in action is a welcomed sight, as these snails aren’t seen so often. Due to how beautiful and cool their shells are, the Triton snails were heavily targeted by shell collectors in t

A feast for your eyes 👀 The giant triton is a large marine snail that munches on crown-of-thorns starfish (COTS). The starfish banquet upon corals, decimating the Great Barrier Reef during outbreaks. Despite being a spikey and toxic meal (COTS have a highly toxic coating), tritons are effective hunters of the starfish. Devour AIMS’ most popular video as we reminisce on highlights during our 50 years of important scientific research for Australia’s tropical marine estate. #AIMSat50 | Australian

The giant triton can grow two feet in length, making it one of the biggest mollusks in the world. Found in warm Indo-Pacific and Red Sea coral reefs, these voracious predators easily outpace starfish, sea urchins, and other mollusks. Hunting by night, the triton grabs ahold of prey with its muscular foot and incapacitates it with paralyzing saliva. Immune to most biotoxins, this gargantuan sea snail is especially valued for controlling crown-of-thorns starfish, which eat reef-sustaining coral po

The giant triton – beautiful, rare – and a known killer of Crown-of-thorns starfish! But don’t think COTS can’t smell them coming! This video shows how a COTS reacts to the scent of a giant triton. Can these large marine snails help to disperse large numbers of COTS on a reef before they breed? This project, currently being conducted at AIMS, is one line of research investigating the potential of natural predators to control COTS numbers as part of the Australian Government’s National Landcare I
