The most common and at the same time most beautiful of the approximately 200 described cowrie or porcelain snail species. The origin of the name "porcelain snail" is self-explanatory when looking at this beautiful, highly polished snail shell. These snails cover their shell all around with a membrane, the mantle, which serves to separate limescale to build up the shell, but also protects it from being overgrown by other organisms. This leads to the typically shiny surface of all cowrie snails.
