海螺, or "conch," refers to a type of large sea snail found in warm coastal waters. These marine mollusks have a spiral shell that can be quite beautiful and are often collected for decorative purposes. They play an important role in marine ecosystems, serving as both herbivores and prey for various predators. In many cultures, especially in Asian countries,海螺 is also a popular seafood delicacy. It can be prepared in various ways, such as steaming, grilling, or in soups. Additionally, the shell of the海螺 is sometimes used in traditional crafts and as a musical instrument, producing a unique sound when blown into.
