An olive shell feasting on a small fish

Hi folks,

A while ago I watched an olive shell devour a small fish and snapped a fascinating sequence of images. The shell captures the (already dead) fish, envelopes it and burrows into the sand - all in the space of 60 seconds.

Here's the first shot:

Damn... now that is just plain cool it can devour something so much larger than itself so quickly

great sequence of shots.

good for you to realize and catch the action.

thanks for sharing!

Cool capturing!!

Nicely done.
