Need ID (which Nerita ?) 2
Hi, can anybody ID this shell?
Is it a Nerita? Which kind?
<a href="http://www.badongo.com/pic/3168056" target="_blank"><!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.badongo.com/pic/3168056">http://www.badongo.com/pic/3168056</a><!-- m --></a>
I got it in Zanzibar (Tanzania): it is about 1 cm in size.
Please need Latin and English names.
Many thanks in advance,
Giovanni

This is a juvenile Nerita textilis Gmelin, 1791. "Textile Nerite".  As Dave said, the picture doesn't want to open, but I was able to open it using Microsoft Picture Manager.  Had the same problem with a couple of your other pictures.
