Who's the real predator?

2 years ago while we were out at Chek Jawa
We saw a baby octopus wriggling its tenacles franatically in the swallow water
"Weird movement" we all thought.
Until we realised it was caught by a crab, struggling to set free

How bizarre.

Yesterday while we were out at Pulau Hantu
Same scenario happened.
But
It's a snake!

"Ouchhhh" groaned Baby Yellow-lipped sea krait (Laticauda colubrina)

It caught my attention when I noticed something blue & black snake-like animal twisting on the algae-covered sponge
& my legs turned almost weak upon confirming that it is indeed a venomous reptile
Even though it is of 3cm long in diameter

FYI, I am ophidiophobic (snake-phobia). Think my close encounter with the monitor lizard at Sentosa has not make me brave enough still.

Despite so, as WildFilms mission is to 'Shoot First, Ask Questions Later', I immediately fetched the camera and caught it on tape.

Look how beautiful it is...

Right, where's the crab?
Hidden in the sponge, pinching hard on the snake
Can you see the pincer?

And all along I thought octopus and snakes eat crabs as stated everywhere in journals, magazines, Discovery Channel, wherever. But it has been twice that I saw crab being the predator of their 'supposedly-predator'.

Not only did the Earth has gone hay-wired, so does the food-chain I believe.
