@dfleck9210

Being soft is the actual trick to not get cut or poked. Land snails can traverse a razor blade with just the help of being soft and mucus, so I guess the Triton just is incredibly soft and its mucus is doing its job, which is lubrication. There's no softening of the thorn happening.

That starfish doesn't look like it can fit within the snail's shell. And it has no visible appendages for cutting in case the snail could cut the starfish into little pieces. So are starfish really squishy and the snail just crams the whole thing in it's guts? Or maybe it uses it's mantle/foot(idk) to surround the starfish like a blanket, bathe it in digestive juices and then when the starfish's organs are weakened enough the snail can just pull them away?
