I answered your other thread, but...it's probably an arminid nudibranch. There are several Dermatobranchus species that are similar to yours. The...
Yes, it's an Emarginula, relative of the keyhole limpets. They are sponge eaters, as far as I know, but may also graze on microalgae or diatoms....
Start your search under "Elysia" species :) It's an algae eater. I don't have time to scroll through them right now, but it may be a variant of...
Yes, but bumblebee snails are more limited in their dietary options. They are generally slow moving and mostly feed on sessile inverts, and have...
Cool find! They are usually assigned to the genus Volvarina now, rather than Hyalina. They're neat snails, and behave kind of like mini-olives....

I polished mine lol. Actually, those in the pic aren't polished, as both. T.reevei and T. petholatus look polished when you find them. Young T....

Yup. And if it's attached, and is a Cardita clam instead, it would look something like this if you scraped the crud off: [IMG]...
LOL well, it's all confused by the Classical Latin/Church Latin/Americanized Latin pronunciations (and the Redneck Latin that's spoken here in Texas,...
SCOOTus, no "uh" in Latin :) And yeah, they are generally considered to be harmless. Cheers, Don
Nah, not a conch or whelk. It's a muricid, either ergalataxine or rapanine. The subfamilies almost tend to overlap on conchological...
I gave kind of a brief answer since I was on break at work, but I'll try to clarify for you guys a little. In the wild, Engina mendicaria lives in...
No, they don't eat flatworms, but they may eat small vermetids and some tiny tube worms. Don
