I've found Cerion processum in Bahamas, crawling in coral near the wave's splash area, meaning it
was all salty. I know Cerion must be more resistant to salt than other snails, but these are on the
extreme end of resistance!

Assunto: [CONCH-L] Snails in odd places

Well just to add to the list of odd places one finds snails: in Japan, the genus Stenothyra is found
only in near-boiling water in sulphurous hot springs. This I guess is analogous to a hot-vent
environment, though with beer and squid-based snacks somewhat closer by.
