I was trying to identify this gastropod, but not able to identify it clearly, so please can anyone help me to identify this gastropod. This may belong to slipper limpet i guess. The photos of the gastropods was attached too.
The photo is not too clear, but I agree with Roger that it is Nerita of some sort. There does not appear to be strong teeth on the shelf & the shell sculpture is pretty weak. My best guess is Nerita polita based on this & the fact that shell coloration is variable and it is likely found in Tamil Nadu, but it's best you double check with some bona fide reference sources.
It looks like Nerita albicilla , slipper limpet/ Ox-palate/ Tuberculate nerite
all the best Nandhan
Yes Nerita , but it is difficult to be sure because the photo is too small.
