Description
The frilled dogwinkle is a sea snail that can be difficult to identify due to its high variability. The color variations are extreme - from pure white to black, including many shades and patterns in between. Even the shape of the shell can vary in size, thickness, and texture, which is related to the presence or absence of predators in a specific habitat.
