This page links to some of the living seashells we have seen and photographed diving in various spots around Bali. Getting living animal photos of shelled gastropods usually requires patience. Disturbed animals tend to retract into their shells and often will not come out for some time, so many of these photos show only the shells. The photos below represent only a small fraction of the species that live in the area. Shells were neither collected nor measured in the field, so sizes given are just estimates.

Most olive shells are quite variable in shell color and are thus often difficult to identify. Many of our IDs are tentative.
