The Horse Conch shell is a Atlantic predatory snail shell, and is technically not a conch. This little guy enjoys wallowing in mud,and eating large gastropods. If food gets scarce, they eat each other. This was the state sea shell of Florida in 1969 which was a pretty groovy year. The snail is the largest snail in American waters, and is unique for having a bright red and orange body. Each snail shell has ten whorls on it (some are very small), and is fairly uniform in shape.
