For what it is worth I tried triggering the margin "snap-tentacles" on D. trinervia, D. hamiltonii, and D. venusta:
The tentacles do not appear to be any more responsive than regular "sticky" tentacles. No apparent movement was observed after 1 minute had elapsed from mechanical stimulation.
I will conduct further observations.
