How to Identify MOON SNAILS - Shelling Tips in the Ten Thousand Islands, Florida

Hey Everyone! Have you ever found a shell with a perfectly round hole in it and wonder what made that? It could be a MOON SNAIL such as a Shark Eye.
In this episode, we'll cover a few types of Moon Snails that can be found in the Ten Thousand Islands and compare to those found on the Atlantic coast of Florida.
Join "Sarah with an H" on this educational talk about these beautiful shells, the animals that make them, how they reproduce and the best ways to find them while beach combing.

Just curious about the difference in a Shark eye and a false shark eye?doesn’t it have something to do with an deep indent on the back side? You are so informative and know your shells can you elaborate a bit on this please?

This is great! I was wondering if technically a shark eye is a type of moon snail or if they are 2 different things entirely?
