Florida Fighting Conch

Strombus alatus

Habitat:

Beaches of Fort Myers, Florida.

Notes:

Appears to be peaking to see if it is safe to come out:) If I waited long enough, they would come all the way out from underneath the sand.

Thanks Jemma and Tom. Jemma, I do not know what they look like inside if their shell but have been searching for a link. So far, I have not found anything, but your question has me curious:)
