This one had to go back in the water quickly, as the conch was still in residence. I looked deep into its beady eye-stalks, and it looked like it wanted to fight me.

One valve of a juvenile.
Someone had stepped on this shell but it did not break.
The Sunray Venus is a little bit uncommon on Sanibel.
