Smoothe Slipper Shell. Totally random shapes, often found living in abandoned helical shells like Cook's Turban. For this reason they often have a sideways curve as one of these examples does. White, smoothe surfaced and difficult to photograph. Some obtain a highly polished finish on the surface of the shell. These are average sized.

This observation is for the small white shells, and the large flat white shell living inside the aperture of the main gastropod shell with the hermit crab.

The gastropod Eastern White Slippersnail, Crepidula depressa Say, 1882, is a common species found at University Beach, Corpus Christi Bay, Texas. This species has long been misidentified with Crepidula plana Say, 1822, which Rachel Colin (2002) restricted to Georgia and northward, therefore, C. plana does not occur in the Gulf of Mexico. Its shell can reach about 37 mm (1 1/2 in) in length and is quite depressed. It is found in virtually every large gastropod shell with a hermit crab, as well as on some bivalve shells on this beach. Read more about this species in Tunnell et al (2010)âs Encyclopedia of Texas Seashells, page 168, and in the Texas Seashells, A Field Guide (Tunnell, Barrera and Moretzsohn, 2014), on page 64.

In contrast to the common slippersnail, we saw only two examples of the spotted species; here is the best of the two.
