Question

What kind of creatures live in a large sea shell? The kind of shell that you can hear the ocean in. Thanks & I shall return to & give what I feel is the best answer. Thanks & have a good AM. :0)

Answer 1

crabs?  

Answer 2

Wow... so many answers to this question... When it's alive, it's a conch as someone else mentioned... a conch is a large aquatic snail... they make really good chowder and fritters...

a large hermit crab would move into one of the right size after the conch is dead... or if not a hermit crab (Here I'm going into just animals that I'VE seen living in them in the Indian River Lagoon (which is one of the most diverse estuarys in North America): baby flounder, mudskippers, toadfish, lizardfish, sponges, shrimp, fiddler crabs, young blue crabs... and bunches of other little things that I'm not quite sure what they are... anything that's small enough to use a conch shell for shelter will do it.

Hope I helped.

Answer 3

It is called a Conch, (prounounced conk).    It is a shellfish that is very tasty.

All crabs do not live in sea shells. Only the hermit crab does. Others include clams, snails, conches and corals.

However, if you are talking of an exoskeleton, then it can be found on almost all invertebrates like octopuses, squids, crabs. Turtles have an internal skeleton as well as an outer covering commonly called the shell. The sites below are on the hermit crab
