Not reef related, but check it out anyway though. Very cool video by Thales. 8)

Holy crap, that is awesome. To they get in that feeding pose at feeding time, do it all day, or what?

They don't all do it all day long like that, but at any given time there's good odds you'll see one wound up like that ready to strike.

They also give birth to live young, so there's piles of them laying all over each other and twisted up like hairballs in there.

Soon we're going to do archer fish in the same exhibit. Big individuals, too big for the snakes to get. The common link there is that both have to cope with aiming for prey that has a refracted image, but in opposite directions. 8)

Cool video, it's always fun to watch peoples morbid fascination with watching animals eat other animals.

Although I didn't particularly dig the music in the video
