Topic: Yet Another New Marine Gastropod To Be Added

Chris,

Could you please add another new marine gastropod recently found by Steve Trewhella on a Dorset beach - this being:  Stramonita haemastoma (Linnaeus, 1767), common name the Red-mouthed Rock Shell or the Florida Dog Winkle.  It is a species of predatory sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusc in the family Muricidae, the rock snails.  Steve found the snails living on a trans-Atlantic Goose Barnacle covered long-line buoy, found at Chapmans Pool, Dorset, UK on the 23rd December 2015.

Many thanks.

Cheers.
Steve
