spiral shell

These are images of spiral shells found in the Oceania. It is possible to have a look also at the mollusc living inside the shells. When the mollusc dies the empty shells are brought onto the beach by the high tide and are found walking along the sandy beach when the tide is low. Though very attractive it should be better not to take these creatures in order not to destroy the marine ecosystem.
