I saw something unusual halfway buried in the sand near the Sanibel lighthouse at low tide. I reached down to find a large ball of meaty slime… which turned out to be a SHARK’S EYE MOON SNAIL very much alive.

Thanks for sharing. I bet that shell was pretty and he is good sized too. I love the live animals. I have seen and learned so much from your blog!!
Waaaaayyyyyy Cool!!!
As I’m watching I’m thinking, “That too cool!” and my daughter (5) starts up with, “Ewwww, that’s disgusting!!!!”
Awesome! Amazing how he can fit himself inside of the shell!
That was sooooo neat! Thank you for sharing the amazing video today!!!
Wow!!!!
Good job guys – looks almost like the one Clark got up at the bridge last Sunday.
….oh my…it is waaaay cool Clark (& Pam)..where did you find it?
Ahem…. that would be “Pam” who found this way cool shark’s eye :)…not Super Sheller Clark this time (he found one a couple of weeks ago too…. not that we are in competition or anything- HA!). LOL this was on the east end.
Sooooooo cool!!! Thanks for sharing!!
Thank you for the video. Cool! Slimy too?
I’ve seen a couple live ones-never occurred to me to pick them up! I’ll put that on my list of things to do :D
Wow, how cooool is that, Pam!! I’ve never seen a Shark’s Eye live! Thank you so much for sharing. Hope to visit Sanibel Island during my vacation. I’m on Anna Maria Island now and really enjoy my stay!!
so awesome———don’t know if I could have held it in my hand like that, but leave it to Pam to do what’s necessary to keep her readers informed, thanks, Pam.
Very cool, Pam! Love it!
Which way to the Seaside Inn from the Lighthouse beach?
I added a link to Seaside Inn up in the post… scroll back up and click on the highlighted and bolded words. I always do that…. when I have linked to more info, I bold it and highlight it so you know I’ve added more info. Fancy, huh? ;)
It always amazes me how they can fit so much body into their little shells! Beautiful video.
Shark’s eyes,are one of my top 3 favorite shells!!
the unoccupied ones of course!
thanks for sharing!!

That is just amazing! I love your blog, it just brings me right back to that lovely place!
Oh my gosh, I just saw one of these on Ft. Myers Beach a couple of days ago. Didn’t have any idea what it was. I was just interested in the shell. I ended up throwing it back in the gulf. I guess I should’ve took a picture of it.
