Buccinum fimbriatum [Buccinum fimbriatum]
Description
This whelk is often found along the seafloor, where its shell and textured surface help it blend with natural bottom features. Divers may spot it near rocks or among uneven substrate, where it moves slowly and methodically—an easy-to-miss but fascinating resident of the benthos.
