One of the approximately 200 described species of cowrie or porcelain snails. The origin of the name "porcelain snail" is self-explanatory when you look at this beautiful, high-gloss snail shell. These snails cover their shell all around with a membrane, the coat, which on the one hand serves to separate lime to build up the shell, but on the other hand protects it from other organisms to be overgrown, resulting in the typically shiny surface of all cowrie snails.
