Tiger Conch Snail Peeks Out of Its Shell

Occurred on April 29, 2023 / Everett, Pennsylvania, USA

Info from Licensor: "The eyes of a tiger conch snail peering out at me after quickly retracting into its shell. The mouth, as seen, is a long, tube-like appendage in which it uses to explore through the substrate, eating any detritus and algae it finds. It moves across the sandbed with a 'foot', which is a single paddle-like appendage that propels them forward. Conch snails are a fun and popular invertebrate in the reefing hobby and serve a great purpose within the aquarium."
