Info

Nerita plicata Linnaeus, 1758

Nerites are found in marine intertidal habitats, brackish- and freshwater and mangroves.

Nerita plicata is a species of tropical sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Neritidae, the nerites. Shell with well marked rides.

This Plicate Nerite can be found at low tide in rock caves and crevices. This species lives high up in the intertidal zone, on rocks. Nerita plicata has ridges on its shell that helps it stay cool when exposed at low tide by radiating heat away. This species is a algae grazer.
