When Snails Attack: The Epic Discovery Of An Ecological Phenomenon - Science Sushi

this particular species of whelk was covered in an encrusting bryozoan

I wonder what benefit the bryozoans are receiving for their relationship with the whelk

The ocean is a scary place. I went out on an oddly clear day after a hurricane a few years ago and was shocked how many stingrays were swimming around my feet. Now I have to be scared of snails too, thanks!
