Baiyan Bao snail shell

The hundred eyed conch is a mollusk of the Gastropoda family. Shells have a distinct cylindrical shape and are coiled within the snail layer. The shell is narrow and elongated, with fine teeth on the outer and inner lips, and a tongue shaped tongue. The outer membrane is thin, with a two leaf shape, and the living body is almost completely covered by the shell. The spiral part almost disappears when it reaches adulthood, and there is no opening in adulthood. The shell surface is smooth and glossy, with a light yellow brown color and many brown rings of varying sizes on it. There are also two yellow white horizontal bands on the shell surface. Living in tropical and subtropical warm sea areas, it can be found from intertidal zones to deeper rocks, coral reefs, or sandy seabeds. Mainly feeds on algae or coral animals.
