If you have time, learning a species every day is a kind of life enjoyment.
What is explained here is that I am not an expert, and the information comes from Du Niang. If there are errors, tell me to correct them.
The poison on the picture is "weaving taro snail" or "brocade taro snail", perhaps the only taro snail that can be found in Shenzhen, I am a novice diver, I have not seen anything else.
This snail meat is edible, the shell is beautiful, and the poisonous thorns are extremely poisonous.
Taro snail is also because of the beautiful shell, often divers unconsciously manual this snail, and thus the stroke, it is said that some taro snail toxin can poison 10 adults, there are records of death due to taro snails about 30 people, and death without feeling, more dangerous than any kind of creature underwater.
Its other name is "chicken heart snail", mainly growing in tropical seas, generally living in warm seas, living on coastal coral reefs, beaches and beautiful snails. There are many kinds of taro snails, with different beautiful colors and patterns, and are the main object of the world's shell collection enthusiasts.
Distribution area: African coast, Red Sea, India, Ceylon, Japan and China's Hainan, Paracel Islands and other places. It is commonly found in equatorial waters, especially in Brazil.
In South America, there is a kind of taro snail called "cigar snail", which means that after being stung by it, it is generally only left to draw a cigar time to rescue. The study found that more than 100 compounds were found in the toxin of the snail, including those that block the transmission of information by the nervous system, which makes the organism die because the nervous system cannot transmit information without any sensation.
Taro snails basically live in tropical areas, and Shenzhen actually has taro snails, which is also a bit strange. It can only show that this sea area of Shenzhen is a fuhai....
Diving students, always remember, do not move this snail with your hands, it is extremely dangerous.
