  The Sea Slug Forum - Cliopsis krohni
Thecosome pteropods feed on phytoplankton which they catch with the aid of an enormous mucuous web or net they cast out in front of them.
When Cliopsis krohni comes into contact with one of these feeding webs, which in Corolla can be up to 2 meters in diameter, it begins dragging it in until Corolla is close enough for Cliopsis's long proboscis to reach out and cut the columellar muscle, which attaches Corolla to its 'shell'.
Cliopsis can eat animals three times its own size.
