you learn only 3 things about them ...
 Egg capsules contain living eggs or tiny snails. Don't
disturb them.
Egg capsules are found on stones and among seaweeds. Watch
your step.
Please
don't bring egg capsules home. Thousands of baby snails
may die. |

Where
seen? Egg capsules and masses laid by shelled snails are seen on many of
our shores. Often, these are laid on hard surfaces.
Features: Some snails lay egg
capsules, little packages of several eggs. These are often attached
to hard surfaces. Other snails may form other egg masses, such as
the sand collar of the moon snail. |
