Invertzoo (talk) 22:17, 20 February 2014 (UTC) that's definitely not true, if that measurement refer to the length of the shell. The largest shells are at least 30 cm long, 19 cm wouldn't even be a particularly large specimen. However, it could refer to the length of the snail itself, perhaps? "Size" is a bit of an undefined property. 80.167.102.168 (talk) 16:58, 24 August 2015 (UTC)

"traverses through the water"
Aside from the fact that "traverse" is an intransitive verb taking a direct object, does the snail traverse the water or traverse the benthic environment, like most snails?--Wetman (talk) 20:05, 22 February 2014 (UTC)
