I think I managed to find all three members of the Moon Snail Family in the Monterey Bay today. I still awaiting confirmation, but...yay, me.

描述

The snail was still in this one, though it had been on the storm wrack line long enough that I can't imagine it was still alive. I tossed it back in the water after taking these photos, just in case, though.

About the size of a ping-pong ball.

I confess I audibly expressed my excitement at the moment of this find, much to the amusement of a couple of passersby.
