Cateye Salamander Shell

Most species in the salamander family are spherical or pear shaped. The height and width of the shell are not significantly different. The surface of seashells is either smooth or decorated with intricate details, and some even have spiral ribs, spines, grooves, or protrusions. The inner surface of the shell has a pearl luster. Most species of salamanders are distributed in tropical, subtropical, and temperate oceans, with tropical waters being the majority. They are found from the intertidal zone to the seabed at a depth of 3400 meters, and they prefer to inhabit rocks and coral reefs with algae growth in shallow waters. Common types of salamanders include cat eyed salamanders, silver mouthed salamanders, golden mouthed salamanders, and luminous salamanders. Salamander snail meat is edible, and shells can be used to carve artworks.
