Trumpet-mouthed hunter snail  (Gulella salpinx)

Description

The rather flamboyant common name of this hunter snail refers to the flaring, trumpet-like opening of its distinctive shell. The shell is unusual, being white in colour, with strongly defined whorls and grooves, appearing to be thrown off to the left of the snail’s body. The semi-translucent body is pale buff, while the tentacles are bright orange (2).
