Tiny Caribbean Snails

Tiny Caribbean Snails

Hi friends, as promised here is another species of snails that are common on Curacao.  I found these today at the Curacao Sea Aquarium out along the edge of the ocean in a giant tide-pool.  These are again about the size of your little finger nail and have really beautiful black and brown stripes and what’s most amazing is no two are alike!  I searched and searched for a name but again found nothing so if you know something I don’t or can point me in the right direction please do.  These little beauties seem to live just above the tide line and are out there in great numbers, in fact I had to really watch where I was walking as they covered almost everything!  I did watch as a few big waves came in and completely flooded these guys but they held fast to the rock and not a one was lost!  So this is your snail photo for the week still lots more varieties to come so stay tuned.
 
Thanks to everyone for the compliments on today’s seashell photo, I think in general everyone just loves shells!!  I was thinking today that it’s a good thing I don’t live in a big shell area otherwise I would be collecting them day and night and probably not doing as much photography! 
 
A friend of ours contacted me today and said she will take our broken Mac to the States and mail it for us, that made my day!!  Aimee had the day off she took the dogs biking this morning along the north coast and then spent the rest of the day around the house.  Well that’s about it for tonight, off to bed.
 
Another day in Paradise, Barry
