Orange Miter Shell


The Miter Shell is named because of their resemblance to the peaked caps, sometimes worn by popes, bishops, and other ecclesiastics. They are said to represent mediating for peace and seeking harmony. Most live in warm shallow seas and use their long retractable snout to feed on clams and marine worms. Usually elongated in form, they feature vibrant color patterns. Attraction to this shell encourages a more conscious evaluation of one's spiritual values.
