Description
The ring cowrie is a small sea snail that makes a great addition to aquariums. It keeps its shell clean by covering itself with a thin mantle. This marine snail was once commonly used as a currency in many parts of Asia, Africa, and the Middle East. Among some tribes in Africa, the shell of the ring cowrie is still considered an object of divination.
