Winged Trophon (Scabrotrophon stuarti)Observer
mckittreDescription
Hanging out on boulders at a -5 tide. Not common, but I seem to find at least one of these trophons at every big low tide.

mckittreDescription
This large intertidal trophon is a mystery to me. I've found it three times this month, and cannot seem to ID it. It seems to commonly have a commensal red-banded scaleworm, Arctonoe vittata, which I also see on sea stars.

mckittreDescription
I call this my "mystery trophon" - I see them reasonably often in the low intertidal, with quite eroded and highly sculptured shells, about 4 cm long. Can't figure out what they are, though. Poking around at a -5.3 tide -- first big low tide of the spring.

I don't think I've found this particular snail before, and am not quite sure of my ID.

I have posted several similar trophons of the low intertidal, with several different IDs, and have yet to be convinced they are different species, or that any of those 3 IDs is correct. https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/6019253

gwarkDescription
It almost looked like some algae-covered creature was eroding a depression in the algae - I didn't try and pry it to check, though.
