Description
The length of the shell varies between 45 mm and 70 mm.
This measurement refers to the size of the snail’s shell, which is the most commonly used method to express the size of these marine gastropods. The shell is an integral part of the snail’s body, providing protection and support for the soft parts of the organism. It’s important to note that the size can vary among individuals due to factors like age, nutrition, and environmental conditions. [2]
