Japanese Babylon Snail
Babylonia formosae
Adults inhabit shallow coastal sand and mud flats around Japan and nearby waters. They use a muscular foot to crawl and burrow, scavenging animal remains and feeding on small invertebrates. The thick, glossy, spotted shell protects the animal when it withdraws inside.
