Hi MaryEllen,

#1  Strombus urceus, very common throughout the whole tropical Indo-Pacific area.

#2  Linatella caudata, in the family Ranellidae, also occurs throughout the Indo-Pacific region, but not nearly as abundant as the above species.

#3  Yes, a land snail, Polymita picta, from Cuba

#4  Another land snail, Acavus haemastoma from Sri Lanka.  The name "haemastoma" refers to that deep red color.  "haema" = "blood", "stoma" = "mouth"  <span class="petit">--Last edited by Paul Monfils on 2010-01-17 05:03:44 --</span>
