Turbo sazae
Species of gastropod
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Turbo sazae, also known by its Japanese name sazae (サザエ), is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk, in the family Turbinidae, the turban snails.[1] Despite being commonly eaten in Japan, it had long been confused with Turbo cornutus and with Turbo japonicus before Fukuda (2017) pointed it out.[2]
