Mangrove Whelk Shell (Large)

The common name for Terebralia palustris is the giant mangrove whelk (also commonly known as a mud creeper or giant mud creeper). It is a large, brackish-water sea snail that lives in tropical mangrove forests across the Indo-West Pacific region. These are the largest mangrove gastropods sometimes growing up to 19cm in length.

Premium Natural Elongated Horn-Style Hermit Crab Shells approximately 8–10 cm from point to point with an opening of 1 - 2 cm.

Give your growing hermit crab a beautiful, sturdy new home! These natural marine gastropod shells feature a classic, tapered turret shape with gorgeous dark-banded textures and ribbed spirals that look stunning in any crabitat.

Perfect for Growing Crabs: Measuring approximately 8 to 10 cm in total length, these are ideal for medium to large hermit crab species who prefer elongated, narrow openings.

Hermit crabs regularly change their shells as they grow, and some will prefer a certain type of shell over others, therefore it's a good idea to have a selection of shells available of varying shapes and sizes.
