Lightning volute (Ericusa fulgetrum)


Usually buried in sand during the day, this volute emerges at night in search of prey, mainly other molluscs. The captured prey are carried in a fold of the rear foot back into the sand to be consumed. The sexes are separate and after mating they lay large round white egg capsules buried in sand. The eggs hatch directly into small crawling volutes. There is no free-swimming larval stage like in most other marine gastropods. For this reason, populations are quite localized and, due to their popularity amongst shell collectors, some population have greatly declined.
