A sea snail has a soft body that is usually protected by a shell. Most shells are spirally coiled while some sea snails, commonly called the impetus, have a conical shell.

SHELLS

Shells are found in a variety of shapes and sizes, but are normally very small. The shells of sea snails are strong and durable in many cases, as a group they are well represented in the fossil record.

DIET

Many snails  are herbivorous, eating plants or rasping algae from surfaces with their radulae, though a few land species and many marine species are omnivores or predatory carnivores.

LIFESPAN

Sea snails usually live about five years but can live as long as 25 years in the wild.
