Cerithium Caeruleum
''Cerithium caeruleum'', the Cerith sand snail, is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family (biology), family Cerithiidae. It is generally found in large populations on intertidal rocky shores with a thin layer of sediments. They have large and solid shells, and their radula ribbon robust long about one-fifth the shell length. This species lives in the planktonic stage from 90 to 120 days and has a seven-year life history. This common intertidal species is confined to east Africa, Madagascar, and the Arabian Peninsula and is unlikely to be confused with any other ''Cerithium'' species. It is distinguished by its squat, knobby shape; and as indicated by its name, caeruleum, a grayish blue color with spiral rows of black tubercles. Description 1. Shell This species is widespread in the tropical Indo-Pacific (Red Sea, Kenya, Madagascar, Mozambique, Tanzania and Western India). The shell of ''Cerithium caeruleum'' is large, solid, stocky, knobby, reachin ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Cerithiidae
Cerithiidae, common name the cerithiids or ceriths, is a large family of medium-sized marine gastropods in the clade Sorbeoconcha. Distribution Ceriths are found worldwide on sandy bottoms, reef flats or coral reef rock covered with sand and algae in the sublittoral zone of warm or temperate waters. Most are found in tropical areas. A few occur along the European coastline and about 30 species in two genera are found along the American coast. A few species occur in estuarine areas of mangrove forests close to the sea. Only a few species of the subfamily Bittiinae are found in deep water. Diet Ceriths are herbivores and detritivores that graze the sea bed. Description Their slender shell is elongated with a pointed spire. They vary in size from 3 mm ('' Bittium alternatum'') to 150 mm ('' Cerithium nodulosum''). The smallest shells are found in the subfamily Bittiinae. The many whorls have radial sculpture with axial ridges and nodules. The aperture shows ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
