Nassarius Vibex per snail.
The Bruised nassa is found from Cape Cod, Massachusetts down to Florida, in the Gulf of Mexico, in the Caribbean Sea, and along the northern Atlantic coast of South America. The southernmost specimens live off the coast of Brazil.
The typical Bruised nassa habitat is intertidal sand or mud flats, but you can also find these snails in very shallow waters and in creek banks. The snail likes to spend most of its time buried under sand or mud with only its “trunk” (which is actually a protruding mouth) extending above the substrate. The Bruised nassa is equipped with a keen sense of smell which comes in handy when searching for food.
