Most gastropods have a calcareous external shell (the snails). Some lack a shell completely, or have reduced internal shells (the slugs & sea slugs & pteropods). Most members of the Gastropoda are marine. Most marine snails are herbivores (algae grazers) or predators/carnivores.From museum signage:"Eustrombus goliath(Schroter, 1805)This exceptional shell represents the world size record of the Goliath conch, measuring 380 mm.
