Pacific Triton Seashell
Beautifully colored, spiral seashell.
Overview
The Pacific Triton, named after the Greek God of the Sea, is a beautifully colored and interestingly shaped seashell. Adult tritons are active predators which feed on starfish and other mollusks. The Giant Triton can reach lengths of nearly 20 inches. Our Pacific Tritons aren't quite that large, but their beautiful coloration makes up for their "standard" size.

- Uncharacteristically for gastropods, tritons are not hermaphrodites. They have two distinct sexes.
- Adult tritons are carnivores and actively hunt mollusks and starfish.
- Giant tritons can kill and digest crown-of-thorns starfish (a large species up to 3 feet in diameter and covered in poisonous spikes an inch long).
- Tritons grip its prey with its muscular foot and uses its toothy radula (a serrated, cutting organ) to saw through its prey's skin.
