Marble cone - Conus marmoreus

Close to the Triton was this Conus marmoreus who looked like he might have been hunting a Triton dinner. Although less than a quarter of the Triton's size, it might have been possible for the cone shell to inflict a fatal sting, so I moved the Triton further down the reef and hoped for the best.
