There is a sea creature (a clam or fish or something) that has a tongue like appendage that it uses for bait, and when the fish approach it it gets eaten.

A tongue-using clam is a type of bivalve mollusk that has a specialized tongue-like organ called a radula, which it uses to consume fish and other small animals.
The tongue-using clam uses its radula to grab onto the fish and then pulls it inside its shell. The radula has small teeth that help to break down the fish's flesh, allowing the clam to consume it.
No, not all clams have a radula and are capable of consuming fish. Tongue-using clams are a unique and rare species that have evolved this specialized feeding method.
Tongue-using clams are mostly found in tropical and subtropical waters, particularly in the Indo-Pacific region. They are typically found in shallow waters near coral reefs.
No, tongue-using clams are not dangerous to humans. They are filter feeders and do not have the ability to bite or harm humans. However, their powerful radula can cause harm to small fish and other animals that they consume.
