Tulip snail info?

I have a tulip snail and there's such little information online about them besides they're carnivores.

I'm trying to give it meaty food but it doesn't seem interested in it at all. I'm going to buy some snails for it to wait for better confirmation on whether its a snail specialist or can eat something more manageable, but if anyone knows anything more about them it would help a lot. I also don't know how venomous they are, assuming they are venomous and any research I do trying to find out puts them next to cone snails which uh.. 1: is scary, 2: I'm taking with a grain of salt because pretty sure there would be more warnings/fuss about tulips if that was the case.

Just fed it an astrea and man, these guys do not have as fast of a feeding response like I thought lol. Took a whole hour for it to begin looking for the snail even though the snail sat there next to its spot for most of the duration.

Guess I shouldn't expect snail v snail action to be thrilling. 😁 Definitely makes target feeding a concern though as now I know frozen won't cause it to immediately react.

Can't really tell what is happening though, it turned the snail's opening and coiled it so not seeing anything special happ-

EDIT: whelp nvm I guess my snail is defective
