| Description |
Syrinx aruanus (Linnaeus, 1758) - Australian trumpet snail (public display, Bailey-Matthews Shell Museum, Sanibel Island, Florida, USA) The gastropods (snails & slugs) are a group of molluscs that occupy marine, freshwater, and terrestrial environments. Most gastropods have a calcareous external shell (the snails). Some lack a shell completely, or have reduced internal shells (the slugs & sea slugs & pteropods). Most members of the Gastropoda are marine. Most marine snails are herbivores (algae grazers) or predators/carnivores. From museum signage: "Syrinx aruanus (Linnaeus, 1758) Australian trumpet This species holds the record for the largest living gastropod, reaching 78 cm (about 30 inches), or 2.5 feet!). It is found along the Great Barrier Reef in Australia. Its juvenile shell is unusually long and pencil-thin. The Australian trumpet lays egg capsules that are attached to each other, forming strands." Classification: Animalia, Mollusca, Gastropoda, Neogastropoda, Turbinellidae More info. at: <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Syrinx_aruanus" rel="nofollow">en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Syrinx_aruanus</a> |
