We recently went to a sea turtle rescue center with some friends. Inside they have tanks filled with sea creatures. I was amazed at the Horse Conch. It was fully out of it’s shell crawling along the bottom of the tank. The workers said that it hardly ever comes out like it does in these below photo’s.

Very effective, I thought it was someone with a mask on at first LOL
Have a shelltastic week 😉
That’s really cool! Thanks for sharing! I’ve seen the shells, but never with the critter in them.
That’s kinda creepy looking!! lol
Wow, I actually eat these and had no idea what they looked like! They are such a beautiful creature!
That’s so neat. I don’t think I’ve ever seen anything like that before.
That’s a really unusual looking shell.
I’m going to have to write myself a note so I can join your Almost Wednesday group next week. I have never seen a Horse Conch. This looks like a fascinating place to visit. I’ll have to try and discover some areas around my home for my husband and I to visit.
I love this! I think it is so great that you were able to see the Horse Conch! I would have loved to have seen it.
That is so cool! He totally gives me the tummy flips. You can just tell he would have that squishy funky muscle-y feel to him.
I don’t think I have ever seen one alive before.
We just visited our Shark Reef at Mandalay Bay and didn’t find anything that cool! I would love to see one….
That is so cool… Would love to see the Horse Conch, you have some nice shots ….
Have a nice day!
Wow! That’s really neat. I’m so glad you had a camera ready.
That is such a strange creature! I’ve never seen one before.
That is such a bizarre sea creature and unlike anything I have seen.
Ok, that is so super cool! I love how it looks like he’s sticking his tongue out!
Haha I thought it was someone with a mask too! I couldn’t figure out what it was!
How cool that you got to see the horse conch out like that!
I have shells of these animals. There are lots of them in the Pacific coast here in Ecuador. We even found one with the animal inside. The shells are really beautiful!
That’s so interesting, and cool! I’d take a ton of pictures to.
What a rare treat! 🙂
That’s so cool looking!
We have seen horse conches in aquariums. They are fascinating to watch.
Very cool photos! I love sea critters!
Love the pictures! The colors are beautiful.
Wow, I have never heard of a horse conch. It is beautiful in an ugly way.
That’s amazing! It almost look like a tongue hanging out of the first photo.
