TEREBRA SHELLS POPULAR WITH CRAFTERS

Terebra Shells

Terebra comprises a genus of predatory sea snails, ranging from small to large in size. These marine gastropod mollusks belong to the subfamily Terebrinae within the Terebridae family, commonly known as auger snails. Notably, species within this genus lack a radula.

Terebridae shells are known for their distinctively flattened whorls, frequently featuring one or two plaits on the columella. Typically, the tips are blunted.

Terebra shells, carnivorous creatures residing in tropical seas, dwell in the sand. These shells possess a venomous barb, akin to that found in cone shells, which they use to stun and immobilize their prey, usually various types of marine worms.
