Tropical shell of the lambis sea snail on white beach. This snail lives in warm seawater and is a member of the strombidae family. Some of these shells are specially collected for tourists which unfortunately puts some of these shell species on the CITES list (Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora, endangered plants and animal species), so I thought it would be fun, convenient and sensible to take a photo of this shell so that enthusiasts can hang it on the wall and not have to collect or buy individual shells to enjoy it... In short, with this tropical work on the wall, you'll be doing something good for nature too!
