definitely can't leave their shells, it was probably dead, and the other snail was scavenging.
no need to seine urchins, just pick them up with your hand. oh perhaps I should have read down further. Be careful though on the flats with seines...

I caught a 3 foot one once, I thought that was big. Guess not!
