Mud Snail

灘棲螺

Batillaria spp.

Often appears on intertidal shores in clusters and may reach higher numbers on some shores.

經常成群出現在潮間帶岸邊,在某些岸邊可能更多

It is difficult to individually identify each mud snail species due to their similar appearance.

由於外觀相似,很難分辨不同灘棲螺的物種

Its emptied shells are often taken by hermit crabs as refuge.

牠們的空殼常被寄居蟹「寄居」使用,保護自己
