Charonia lampas Knotiges Tritonshorn

Charonia lampas (Linnaeus, 1758)

Das Knotige Tritonshorn Charonia lampas ist eine Schnecke aus der Familie der Tritonschnecken. Sie gehört mit maximal 40 cm zu den größten Meeresschnecken weltweit. Das Tritionshorn ist ein nachtaktiver Räuber, der sich von Stachelhäutern ernährt. Die Beute wird durch sauren Speichel gelähmt, das Skelett aufgelöst und dann gefressen. Beutetiere sind Seesterne, Seegurken und Seeigel. Charonia lampas lebt in Tiefen von 8-50 m.

Wegen ihres imposanten Gehäuses als Sammlerstück begehrt, ist die große Gehäuseschnecke regional geschützt (zBsp. im Mittelmeer), aber leider nicht in allen Vorkommensgebieten.
