This page links to species in the family Cerithiidae, commonly called horn shells, from Kwajalein. Many species are sand dwellers and some are extremely abundant, among the most common snails in sandy areas. While many species normally have white shells, even these will often sometimes vary considerably in color. Overall, the group has not been thoroughly studied, and there are not many references out there for species identification. Many of our names must be regarded as tentative, and some of the unknowns are likely variations of some of the others. We welcome suggestions or corrections at uwkwaj@yahoo.com.
