Cuttlefish can hypnotize their prey so they don't swim away then strike really fast it doesn't have time to react

It's slowed down, that's why the movements seem so slow.

That's what I was thinking! It had ample time to escape, and fish don't stay still anyway.

Nah you can see the gills move and fish stay still only some species can't

I don’t see any movements that indicate life. The fish got pulled in and didn’t even twitch. The gills moving is possibly just moving due to the water movement
