Summary[edit] Description: Strombus goliath Schroter, 1805 - goliath conch from Brazil. (oblique abapertural view) (public display, Bailey-Matthews Shell Museum, Sanibel Island, Florida, USA) This species is also known as Eustrombus goliath and Lobatus goliath and Titanostrombus goliath. The above photo is a reflection in a curved mirror, which accounts for the distortion. The gastropods (snails & slugs) are a group of molluscs that occupy marine, freshwater, and terrestrial environments. 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. It was collected in 1983 at 8 meters depth (about 25 feet) off Natal, Rio Grande do Norte State, northeastern Brazil." Classification: Animalia, Mollusca, Gastropoda, Strombidae Locality: offshore Natal, Rio Grande do Norte State, far-eastern Brazil More info. at: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lobatus_goliath.
