The prettiest girl at the party

Another creature i found in the sandy intertidal area near CEDO that was absolutely fascinating to me were these turban snails. I found the mix between the pattern in their anatomical structure and the coloration in their bodies downright captivating. This species, Turbo Fluctuosus, can be found in the Pacific Ocean ranging between Baja California peninsula, to Peru and off the Galapagos archipelago. Also known as the wavy turban, these mollusks are a type of sea snail that feeds on seaweed growing on the surfaces of stones and sea beds. Nifty facts aside, they’re so beautiful!
