moon snail Sinum sp. Family Naticidae updated Oct 10 Where seen? Resembling a large stiff white slug, this snail is sometimes seen in our seagrass meadows at night. When the shell is seen, it looks like a moon snail that refuses to withdraw into its shell. It is also called the Ear moon snail or Baby ear moon snail because of the shape of its delicate shell. Features: The animal can be 10cm long. The shell is small (about 2cm) thin, white and flat with a large shell opening and is usually completely covered by the living animal. It has a chalky operculum. The body is leathery and white. |
