He has published the article Shell Collection (18): Phoenix Snail (2) - Red Phoenix Snail (Edible), but it is only a snail shell specimen.
I did not think that the live red phoenix snail in the wild is living on the sandy mud on the seabed, and because there is nowhere to hide on the sand, the protective color of this snail is a lump of seagrass or garbage on the sandy ground.
On the sand, if you find and turn the red phoenix over, you can clearly see the bright red of the snail mouth, the phoenix snail, and the eyes of the phoenix snail...
Red phoenix snail, is the jump snail we eat in the seafood restaurant, the snail is thick as a chicken heart snail, the meat is delicious, often white scorched seasoning can be, the market is estimated that most of them are farmed snails.
