Tegula funebralis
Feeding on algae and seaweed, the Black Turban Snail may live
to be 25 years old. The snailís ability to stick to objects comes
from thin, elongated depressions on the foot which act like suckers.
The eyes of a Black Turban snail are on tentacles that can be
withdrawn in case of a threatening situation. If a turban snail
shell is seen rapidly moving across a tidepool bottom, it usually
contains a hermit crab.
Habitat/Range: Black Turban snails are very common in the
tidepools in British Columbia to Baja California.
