Horned Nerite Snail
Clithon corona
Adults inhabit rocky margins of lower rivers, estuaries, and other brackish waters. They slowly graze algae, diatoms, and biofilm from hard surfaces, often holding fast against moving water. The stout shell commonly bears sharp horn-like spines that make it difficult for predators to handle.
